Everything that is acceptable to you, whoever ends up working with
you, and of course to the ftpmasters is fine by me. I wanted to convey
some of my original vision at the beginning, but now would like to
just sit back and watch what you come up with. A lot of the way things
were structured originally may not make sense anymore, so consider
nothing sacred and everything open to whatever changes make sense to you.
Thanks,
