A word of explanation (not that I owe this to anyone but rumors have a way of getting out of hand and people are so far off base with this one that it begs for some comment.)

Because of a serious family illness I've greatly curtailed my activities on all forums, not just here, which is obvious, but also on the HTF which I moderate. There is absolutely no substance to the rumor (or whatever you choose to call it) that my inactivity is in any way shape or form related to any activities involving the 950, which I beta tested. And as far as I know all original messages by me regarding the Outlaw 950 (except for that infamous server crash at the beginning of this year) are still there or in the archives if one searches back far enough. It's just that, as someone else pointed out, the 950 is no longer a "hot" topic so it drops off the radar everywhere except here at the saloon which is, of course the right place to discuss it while things are worked out. Also, the business of HTF has no place here in the Outlaw Forum.

The beta test is now over and any further tweaking is in the hands of Outlaw where it belongs, not in the hands of the beta testers.

I hope that sufficiently explains things. The only thing that I find a little intriguing about this whole thread is that the original poster (who has been banned from the HTF and has chosen to sever any ties to me) was aware of my wife's situation so I find the nature of his "prodding" questions a little curious to say the least.

Whatever.

I've explained myself on this and I assume that reasonable people here will understand where I'm coming from. I refuse to be drawn into another of those endless non-debates regarding non-issues.

Case closed.
