Thanks for pointing that out again Michael. =)  I was going to bring it up in the last reply of mine, but forgot it.

Sounds good to me! Pretty much answers my question in the last reply also. ;) =)

Yeah, I suppose.. just would be nice to *hear from some people*, sometimes lmao! =P

Hahaha, "the call to arms" email..  Yeah, don't get me wrong though.. I *love* the fact that you're handling the installs, as well as the other *two* doodlebee and samboll.. ;) =)  You pouncing on them, don't bother me either lol! ;)  

I guess we just gotta remember "Time Zones" in general too.. I'm not sure about everyone else, but.. I'm over here in crap/boring Pennsylvania...so I usually handle some from 12 midnight.. to the early mornings.. But, it also doesn't really bother me, that you're pouncing on the install requests.. because I'm *busy as hell* here, trying to get back everything I lost when my hard drive crashed sigh.. =(

Yeah, I'm sorry for making it sound that way.. And I agree,.. with the current installers.. "we" seem to be handling them fine.. so, if things start to go/get crazy for "us" lol, we could cry for help. =)


>Just the nature of the game I suppose.  I've added a statement to https://install4free.wordpress.com/2006/06/25/get-in-touch/ asking that requesting individuals insure they have the proper server requirements. But, it is real apparent that many people just don't read...

Thanks for adding that, to that page. ;) I haven't even looked at that page lately..  Yeah sigh, I think most are just in such a rush, to overlook *alot* to *all* of the content.. sigh. I dunno though.. [scratches head].. =/


>Spencer, on a personal note, please remember this is >supposed to be fun. But on the other hand, take joy in the fact >real life DOES get in the way.

Yeah, I understand totally. ;) =)  Maybe a few self slaps, to the face would/could help lol.. =P 


>Thanks for getting this moving

>and please know your contributions to WordPress are valued.
