This is grossly foul. I don't remember anyone striving for 100% perfection when FOP was stuck. FOP got stuck in large part because 1) it first forked itself (no pun intended), and 2) the perceived leader of the project, who was to make that strategy work, suddenly dropped completely off of the edge of the world. The *ability* to compromise and to allow for multiple solutions to the same problem was one of the driving forces behind the modularization effort. Arggh. I have no problem with you guys sailing your ship however you see fit. But I reserve the right to set the record straight when my own efforts are misrepresented. Victor Mote
