  I don't mind saying it again...Thank you to all involved in getting anything
  and everything to do with the new 14.0 up and running. And yes, it's far
  better things took a little longer than you expected if when it *is* time to
  put it out there it all runs as it should.

  Great job to one and all. Maybe one day, in the far, far future when somehow
  or other I get a fat pipe way out here in the middle of the woods, I can
  maybe, sorta, kinda be able to try and help out too. Just seemed like too few
  working on such a big project and I figure the more hands in something like
  this can't be a Bad Thing, heh.
