It was only the motivation from you, (saying only for myself here) that 
kept me going many a times when i was thinking like "when it would rain 
in the desert", that kept me going on. I cannot forget the patient 
guidance that you provided in the course of time to make things look 
good. So even if you say those terms, what you said above i do do 
disagree on what you said.

It is *only* because of you, we have at least a move as well as a 
foundation in this aspect. It was *only* you who helped to resolve many 
issues in the past.

So i would make my most deep hearted request, not to do something like 
what you stated because of somebody's comment.
This would be a very big loss to the DVB community as a whole. Moreover 
such a move would discourage many other developers too as a whole, 
making them feel that the reward of hard work is this .. ? We have 
already lost other people, and another loss like what you termed,is 
something that i cannot imagine at all.



Yours Sincerely,
Manu
