[GeoStL] Re: Should I keep up the Moving Cache?

-
Jim, 

My vote is to "keep it".  It is one of a kind in this area. 
I agree with other comments about hating to see virtuals and
moving caches go out of existence because "when they're
gone, they're gone."  If you have trouble maintaining it,
I'm sure that some of us can lend a hand in keeping it
going.
