If you have other experiences with it to report then that is great.

There are a lot of moribund projects on the net. If they don't get care, love, and attention then they stay that way and a few years means nothing. Adding years does not magically fix things. Adding care and effort fixes things through the sweat of the brow. Years without effort means nothing. Bob
