re resp:53: Sorry if you don't think I should speak up. But not sorry enough to shut up. If there are X people who think I shouldn't say what's on my mind, then there are X people who's opinion I don't care about. I think there are many who disagree with me, but I think there are some who agree, too -- however graceless they might think me for saying it as bluntly as I did. Look, I like Grex a whole lot. I have read the statements from the treasurer over the last couple of years, as Grex went from 100 supporters and a growing bank account to 80 supporters and a shrinking bank account. Why do you think that is? I have an idea that explains at least part of it. I get frustrated when I wait for the system to do the next thing; go to the next conference or finish entering an item or whatever. So must others. Those users who left aren't going to come back, and the next dozen who leave aren't coming back, and it won't be long before Grex is where M- Net is now. (If there are 10 supporting users on M-Net, I'm surprised.) Or where the old Arbornet was before that (there were 4 users of Arbornet when it merged with M-Net). I don't think the MextGrex hardware is depreciating as quickly as is Grex itself. I want NextGrex for myself. I want it because I think it's cool to think of Grex moving onto something a little less obsolete. It's new, different, and exciting. But there *is* a bigger picture as well.
