We have two console drivers so there is a precedent. We are alienating a good contributor, and there have been several people asking for info on this driver. >From what I gather ther are points of strength or both drivers.. Brian's drives the board a bit better, but Bruce's interfaces with the system a bit better.. anyhow. I will want to hear a REALLY GOOD REASON to not do this before I stop.. I've taken it upon myself to recently help a few outside people get their stuff committed. We need to stop contributors getting shut out.. it we don't take their stuff, just because we let it slip through the cracks, then we deserve to be dropped by them. julian
