Just so it is clear: I wasn't asking for anyone to get involved.  I saw 
your initial defensive remark to Earle saying that the new version of 
flex wasn't working for him and decided that I really don't care enough 
to get involved and deal with your attitude.  So, I wrote my message 
above in a manner that did not imply it was anyone's fault that flex was 
broken, rather, I merely stated that it was broken and that Fergus can 
be the one to help fix it if he is interested, because I am not.
