As I'm a person who tends to get to the point, sure, tone is hard to 
convey. This chat in person would be WAAAAYYY different. :)

I also try to use smilies to help with things. :P (look back they're 
there) ;)


This project has always been willing to get new people involved. Hell, 
look @ Scott. But, you *have* to have some aptitude to fill what's 
needed. Sadly, our history is filled will awesome, well-meaning folks 
who just can't do whats needed.
