Just to set the record straight, we've received PLENTY of e-mail expressing
support for MCL.  I don't know that another deluge will make our jobs any
easier or make any stronger statement of support than we've already received.

We are working VERY hard to ensure a positive future for MCL.  Both the
e-mails we've already received, as well as our internal projects that use MCL
are a strong motivation in this direction.

I hope that we will have something more definitive to announce in the near
future.  Until then, please be patient and keep your eye on this newsgroup.
