Hi Karl

Thanks for the quick reply.

>And I will kick the ball back to you :-) You are
welcome to work with us.

Thank you, but no. Not my cup of tea. Also, I don't
see many others doing what is my cup.
So I think I'm needed where I am.

RC1 7061 not 7067. How come?

Good results come from good decisions. 
Good decisions come from experience.
Experience comes from bad decisions.

Welcome to another fine learning experience.

It occurs to me that something that needs (NEEDS) to
happen on a periodic basis is a job (JOB).
And the board may need to fund for it and hire someone
to do it. 

Things that can happen whenever they happen will get
done. They get done someone who loves to do them can
find the time. That's how we get the best into squeak.

Somethings remain more urgent and insistent. We should
get the board to think about funding news and link
maintenence.
