It was a good one.

Yes, I think that that prefix could be read two ways.  A criticism
or an honest statement of fact.  For most of us, it was probably
the latter.  Mmm, the wonders of e-mail...

To me, Sven's e-mail read as follows: "I suffer from burn-out".

Like a lot of people who have given time, effort and possibly
financial sacrifices to the community over many years, with no
"official" recognition, one can get burned-out and sensitive and
hence read "criticisms" in a way that they were not intended.

You're right, Jeremy, that Sven may sometimes offer more heat
than light to a discussion, and I'm not trying to justify that.
It is not good, and needs addressing - somehow.  Here's my
tuppenceworth.

Jeremy (and all, though - sadly - not new-comers) -
	take it with a pinch of salt.
	Though Jeremy can quit over-quoting and top-posting right now! ;)

Screen developers - I hope you take note.

Sven - is the project workload something you can offload/share?
	At least for a while (a year?).

ObTributes:  Screen is great!  I've also found the website useful!
