Concerning the issues at hand:  This issue belongs to David and Dennis I 
think.  I don't like hearing that the problem continues to frustrate 
David.  Unless someone at the core of the community can offer to take 
the responsibility, then yeah let's give them a break.

Thanks, guys, for dealing with this for so long!
