Thanks! I appreciate your (and others) support. It is always a tough line
between dictator and member of the endless debate committee.

Two things here - since we have a working BeOS, this is not as big a motivator
as others. And secondly, when we have too many contributors, I will dance in
the streets. :-) Generally, I agree. If/when that happens, we will have to deal
with it. OTOH, 5 people on screensaver might finish it quickly and come to
some other mini-project as a cohesive team. :-)
Thanks for your thoughts...
