	I didn't take it that way. :)

	AMEN!  Since I switched to Gentoo for my distribution (from RedHat 9.0), and 
started tinkering with MythTV, I think I have learned more about Linux, in 
general, than I have ever known.  This has been, and will continue to be, a 
great learning adventure for me. :D

	Same here.  I am always happy to see projects like MythTV and other Open 
Source projects exist and continue to grow and evolve.

	Yes, indeed, as active as this group and its developers are, I definitely 
agree.  I haven't really looked that closely at other similar projects, but 
this one is certainly one of the more, if not most, active.
