Hi everyone,

I wrote Michel the following message off list and he pointed out, rightly I
think, that he would appreciate some public support of his position.

I worry about appearing to take cheap shots but I think a lot of the time those
kind of comments are a product of pent up frustration and there is some
frustration here. I do feel that ever since Manila and Radio came on the scene
there has been much less focus on Frontier--the core technology from which all
life springs :-) Here's a positive suggestion to end on. With the impending
release of Frontier 8, let's declare a "I love Frontier" year and really focus
on working together to improve the core technology that we all love.

P.S. Note my cheap shot at managers above. Can you tell they're 
driving me crazy
right now?
