At this point, I think I'd be very happy with that. Otherwise, there 
might soon be a full revolt. I apologize to everyone for not being more 
on top of things; it's difficult sometimes to manage between God, 
family, work, this, and other responsibilities. I very much envy those 
guys that can work full time jobs and still turn out gobs of code every day.

Other than pulling the ask() method out along with it's documentation, 
is there anything else I need to do before release? I don't think we 
have any bugs that are more pressing than getting a release out are there?

Randy.
