John, TBH, NextGrex looks to me to be moving along at least as fast as
previous upgrades have.  It really feels to me like you're carping, not
because you're saying that it should go faster, but because you keep saying
it over & over & over.

Volunteer time is always a bottleneck.  Trying to run a system, including
upgrades & maintenance, on the basis of consensus rather than in a top-down
manager-to-managed structure adds to the problem.

Frankly, if I were on staff & were one of those trying to move ahead on
this, I'd be resenting the sheer time taken up reading the responses of a
few individuals who apparently have endless time and nothing of importance
(IMNAAHO) to say. Heck, I do resent it as it is, & I'm not even seeing most
of their postings, I think.  (No, you're not one of those I'm referring to;
my first paragraph above isn't meant to say that I think you're in the twit
category.  If it sounds to you like that, email me & I'll try to be clearer.)
