Please don't start doing what Pavel does, imputing to me motives and ideas 
that are clearly false. You know that I don't want to have two freezer 
implementations - I've never suggested the idea or even thought of it until 
you suggested it. My desire all along has been to improve what's already 
there, and I still want to do that.

I'm sorry that I'm not submitting and resubmitting things as fast as you'd 
like. Please try to remember that I'm not a full time programmer. I'm working 
for Redhat one day a week and the congregation I serve four days a week. 
Anything I do beyond the one day is purely my time, and I have plenty of 
other things to do too. It's not, therefore, that I want to drag my heels. 
Rather, I simply don't have the time to get things done as quickly as you and 
Pavel seem to be able to.

Regards,

Nigel
