No insult or complaint was implied by my message.  'What gives?' is just my
way of being curious.  I've been gone for the the last few month due to the
fact I'm in the U.S. Navy and was just wondering why.  If you find "what
gives" disheartening I apologize.

That's ok.  Maybe for you "what gives" is a part of everyday language, but when
I hear it the phrase is usually associated with complaining, so that's how I
took it.

P.S. Being in the Navy has shown me that free time is a precious thing.
Thank you for spending your free time to provide us with the part we aready
have.

You're welcome.  I wish I could say it was fun all the time, but it isn't.  It
started out fun though, and somehow I have to figure out a way to make it fun
again.

P.P.S. I like to help in some small way, if possible.

Thanks.  I'll jot down your name and address, and I have to discuss organizing
tasks a bit more with the others involved with the site.  Then I'll email you.
We're kinda in a transitional period, behind the scenes a lot of discussion has
been going on about making the process of downloading DAT libraries and software
easier - including a parts license which allows distribution of the library
_separate_ from LDraw proper (the original DOS program), and a formal
organization structure (I've got a lot of paper on that one, perhaps I can work
on that on a 6hr flight coming up later this week, among other things to do on
the plane - Larry and Leo, lets chat at LEGOLAND about this stuff on Saturday).

Its overwhelming, especially when you get behind.  I should have had a LeoCAD
review up about a month ago, but I let it slip aside (Sorry Leo!!).  We've
gotten a lot discussed, but we have a ways to go.  What I would give for a
weekend with all the contributors in person, a handful of computers on a
network, and high speed internet access.  Lots would get done that way.
