DMSI 3.1 Call me Thomas Jonathan Jackson

[Shannon]

As always I will make final assessment at the time it is necessitated. At the moment, my plan is to build 3.2 and make it everything it needs to be. Were it not for the BS derailing me, this would be 3.3 or possibly even 3.4 we are discussing as my next build, and during the derail time I have remained productive in the ways that I can with observing and taking notes. The list of notes and adjustments at this point is quite daunting, even to me, and this next build may require a lot of time. What is going in, however, is going to have a lot of impact on how and how well the program works.

The reason I am planning to shut down development of ASS/ART after 3.2 is that I don't believe it will be necessary to work on at that point because (a) I believe we will have found the way forward in 3.2 (closed the remaining loopholes) and (b) DMSI is the only program I have ever worked on to generate this much resistance in its users, by far. I don't see people resisting any other sub this hard.

As I said, I will make a final assessment based on how things play out. At this time, I don't believe it will be necessary. You guys can relax.
