Paul, I sense you've jumped to some erroneous conclusions. My suggestion for the formation of a development committee was every bit as serious as my intention in starting this thread by quoting you and the others originally involved in the messages under "Help with explode.axp." I've done everything possible to make sure that credit is given where due. Please don't react rashly to someone's mistake about my having started this. I am, however, much more a part of this than you may think. You are confused about more than what Bugman or I have offered in the way of toungue-in-cheek. Please see my message to Max Ehrlich and all #138864. If you wish to move with self-appointmentment to these offices you speak of, I think you will unnecessarily discourage others from participating. I have been working hard on consensus building. I am glad to see you are enthused about this project. I have truly enjoyed our exchanges in the past months. Please don't bail on me now. I've been working real hard here to get some things going. There's been no time to get the Breakfast Menu for John's Joint together. <G> And I know how you like them mini-donuts and Eggs and Spam. Apparently there are going to be a lot of food joints in this new city. You want a donut shop. Kennedy has already staked out a coffee shop next to the ice cream cart in oldcity.3ds. And I do hope that "John's Joint" will be a part of the scene. Even though there may be a name change. 😮 I hope not. In closing, let me say that the amount of thought that you've already put into this is encouraging. The issues you've raised are good ones. I am especially concerned about file size. It took almost a half hour to download Bugman's office at 2400 baud. More than twenty-five minutes into the download, a thunderstorm swept into the area and threatened a power outage. I could have lost everything with only 6 percent left to go. As we build this community issues such as the ones Mr. Coulter has raised in his note to me need to be addressed. And the sooner the better. Let's not move so quickly that we become victims of the same problems that plague us in this world. There is no need. Your response is based on Bugman's prolific activities, Ehrlich's comment, and the greasepaint on my face. But there's much more going on here. Please stay tuned.
