I am the webmaster of the FPC site. So if anything like that must be

this up initially, but maintaining it is another matter, and I have no
time or wish to do so.

But I just answered  'No' to the asked question. You're free to bring up
arguments, of course. However, I agree it may have sounded too 'final',
so please accept my apologies if that was the case...

I disagree with your opinion, but feel free to do so, I have no problems with
that.
