Dear Justin,

Many thanks for bringing this up, and even more so, for your sustained, com=
mitted work! I can't offer help at this point and don't have the skills you=
're looking for, but I would support any route chosen. Some suggestions hav=
e been made already and I agree that keeping it less pretentious might be t=
he way to go until the network gets reinvigorated again.=20

With warm regards and best wishes,

=C9tienne
