I still haven't heard the why. > What you are asking for is *SUPPORT* for 6.2. That implies that we No, I never asked for that. Depending on the answer to "why" I was going to decide what my choices were for helping out and improving the situation in some form. Without the "why" I haven't the foggiest idea how to help.
