Hey Erik, As far as the converters go, I try to keep that list as fresh as
possible. I download the converters for a couple seconds to make sure they
are there sort of and then I list when I last checked the site. So if I
see a converter request then I reply to them by email and once a month or
so to the group. As for the roses, we should just spam every email address
saying, save these roses on your hard drive and give them to  your
children and anyone else you know getting online someday in the next 10
years! I'm getting silly, time to go to sleep. have a bonzo day, Jon
