Re: FR status report

We do the best we can with what we have. Others have tried and failed with more.
We're under capitalized, under funded, under staffed and under water. Just too
damn stupid and too damn stubborn to know you can't do what we're doing on a
shoestring and live to tell the tale. No doubt someday all of our detractors
will be pleased to see us go down for the last time. But until then, damn the
torpedoes, full speed ahead!!

We are the resistance!! If not us, who?
