[Opensim-users] OpenSim Source fixed yet?

[BoneZ]

Thank you for the explanation Justin.

I do recall seeing the message in the users list as well.
I guess I had wrongfully assumed from the message that there had been 
problems of some sort and that is why it would not be reliable for some 
time.
I didn't realize this had been a "Group" acceptable situation that was 
discussed and planned and not a problem of some sort.
My apologies.
