Re: PreludeIDS - dead or alive ?

Well for what it's worth, thanks for all the work over the years.

We purchased the XLR plugin at one point although I suppose that's not
really the same as a donation.  I do contribute to a couple of open
source projects as a way of thanking the community; usually that
provides a marginal increase in support so it's justifiable when
presenting to management. (mentioned for the purpose of influencing others).

Still want that stupid shirt ?  :p
