Sir, I understand completely. However, I wonder if you do so. Alex has orphaned Links 2 in the name of profit. JerrySu and AnthroRules have done the same --- and now you??? Are you to follow the 'Pied Piper' and leave we 'lamers' behind to reflect upon what could only have been? Please indulge me my folly...
If you remember 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' you may recall this. I think it analogous:
When, lo, as they reached the mountainside,
A wondrous portal opened wide,
As if a cavern was suddenly hollowed;
And the Piper advanced and the children followed,
And when all were in to the very last,
The door in the mountainside shut fast.
Did I say, all? No! One was lame,
And could not dance the whole of the way;
And in after years, if you would blame
His sadness, he was used to say, --
"It's dull in our town since my playmates left!
"I can't forget that I'm bereft
"Of all the pleasant sights they see,
"Which the Piper also promised me.
"For he led us, he said, to a joyous land,
"Joining the town and just at hand,
"Where waters gushed and fruit-trees grew,
"And flowers put forth a fairer hue,
"And everything was strange and new;
"The sparrows were brighter than peacocks here,
"And their dogs outran our fallow deer,
"And honey-bees had lost their stings,
"And horses were born with eagles' wings;
"And just as I became assured
"My lame foot would be speedily cured,
"The music stopped and I stood still,
"And found myself outside the hill,
"Left alone against my will,
"To go now limping as before,
"And never hear of that country more!''
You can be the piper, Andy, now that your competitors have caverned with Alex. We love your mods. And, if we ask for more, be patient. Remember whom you are writing for --- the ones that were left behind.
