	Hmmm, I would venture to say (and I have a feeling many agree) that 
while this thread pushes the off-topic boundary as it not being about 
Ubuntu tech support; it is a (barely) and important discussion to have 
here, as it concerns the future & functionality of our neighborhood here.
	So ,yeah, I say it's on... But I'm not speaking for Avi....
