Honestly, I don't remember the state of things 4 June. And
I don't remember the character of my complaints. I presume
that going back would just substitute the original complaints
for the current ones.

I've stated my current reservations. I wanted to make them
known in case someone else might share them or others.
It seems that I'm the only one who has these views - a
familiar and comfortable position for me..

I do appreciate the interest, initiative and effort and I'm
flattered that you found it worthy of this investment of effort.
And, I AM happy to relinquish responsability for enhancement,
support and maintainence for this portion of the library. You've
listened to my concerns and tried to answer them and
I appreciate that. But, we'll just have to agree to disagree
- I can live with that. So feel free to move forward with
the accordance with your good judgment.
