I haven't been replying to most email that gets passed along during this cycle. Sorry - that saves time, too, and I hate getting into "why not?" arguments when the answer is sometimes "because". It doesn't mean I don't take the suggestion seriously or that I won't necessarily change my mind at some point in the future.

We even took a nice vacation - hadn't had one in ages - our Boeing adventures were limited to over-stuffed flights and thankfully no mechanical issues. I think the next major accident will come from a plane trying to carry 250 people when it was designed for 150 simply unable to get off the runway from all the weight. Thankfully, I've been eating better lately and contributed a few less pounds to the burden.

As always, email is the only reliable way to report anything. I miss things in forums - no time to keep going over everything in a forum, plus it's much harder to ask for clarification (people tend not to respond - they don't keep going over everything, either). I'd remove the Steam forum if I could. You wouldn't believe the crap someone at Steam had to remove before I saw it last week. There's no value whatsoever to that forum without a moderator team.

Thanks, Jim, all good from me as always. You've done a remarkable amount of work on FOF9 and post FOF9 updates and quite a few of the things I didn't e-mail you about were taken care of because I saw them listed on your update list. At the end of the day, this all just for fun on this end of the product, a chance for us to take a break from real life and you provide that outlet exceptionally well and I hope you know you have a positive impact on other's lives.

As for those Boeing trips, don't forget to bring a hammer and a giant roll of aluminum for future trips. Never know when they'll ask for "patch" experts to climb out on the wing and fix some shit.
