Hm...I wonder why he lost enthusiasm? Did he state a reason for this?

I see...things are beginning to get a bit more clear on my part. A fully
automated CLSOTW is a great idea, and I just wonder *why* Todd didn't go

else to it? What "critical action" was he talking about?

Me too. I can't wait to see these new features. I'm sure they'll highlight
the community and add some much needed updates.
