Hi Damien,

No problems at all and I fully understand your position. I wasn't
wanting to be painful and more just sending feedback, it doesn't
overly bother me. Hopefully the associated people can get back onto
OPAL soon a it and gnomemeeting are showing great potential and it'd
be a huge pity to see it die.

Cheers,
Pete
