Seconded! Though... I don't really count myself as a contributor so
much... though I hope to be one day! This group is truly fantastic,
supportive, and I've just been blown away by the level of assistance,
personal investment of time to figure things out, etc. On top of that,
I consider a non-existent rate of "RTFM"s an extreme positive!
What a dynamic project with an incredible rate of development and
incorporation of user-requested features. Most open source projects
really can't say that as far as I can tell.
Thanks all,
John
