I told Dem that if he wanted to do that it was up to him to support it 
and maintain it. I see no reason for any of the rest of us who may, or 
may not be interested in such a thing to be involved. Also... since a 
URL change to select the moonbase used is as simple as editing a config 
file I say let them have at it but any *special* requests are not an 
"automatic obligation" on the parts of any of the other developers.
