Thanks for the encouragement even though these days it usually comes with
a qualifier like that. I think after all these years, stability is maybe
the best think about Kermit, because watching what goes on around me here
as everything else breaks on about a daily basis due to "patches" and
"updates" -- entire websites included -- I think it might have become a
forgotten concept.
