so at Stas' request, here it is.

Thanks for your help with this issue.

Great. Please follow up on the thread you've started on the modperl list 
  and let others know what the problem was. Thank you.

Thanks :) I was all over, didn't know it was hard to find me :)

It always amazes me how people who are completely uninvolved with the 
project take upon themselves the role of telling others what's going on 
in the project.

We estimate that we will start releasing release candidates in a month
