The new "Arena" with an "attytude".  What happened to Frank -- Frank did a great
job with NO "attytude".

Was Arena sold ?

Is it going commercial?

Seems like something changed -- I am not sure it is for the better.

In light of the circumstance, I think Peter's questions were very reasonable.

Anyway - would like to hear more about Arena and what is a happening with the
new website and why all the changes.  The Arena I have now is a very good and
solid application and I hope it continues.
