Of course I understand.  I am mostly moving this forward as a way to
benefit the community.  I hope I've made no secret of the fact that I
expect solving these problems for the community will also benefit my
business.

Since I have no looming deadlines, my schedule is fairly open.
Anytime this week is fine.  Next week, the 18th and 20th are
completely free.  The 23rd through 26th are also completely available.
Most other dates are possible but may require some coordination.

Thanks again for your interest and work on our behalf, 

David
