Due to net problems, I lost email access for a few days. But I am back. I have not seen a second on the above motion. I have no particular feelings on the motion myself. I've never had an urge to switch away from LogFlash, which met and still meets Nora and my needs, even with an archaic DOS interface. $100 seems like a lot, since we only were requesting $25 for LogFlash (but it sounds like you are talking about having him do some specialty work for us). I won't vote no, but would like to see more explicit positive endorsement of giving him money from Board members before considering this motion approved. lojbab
