I mean no discourtesy to TheDamian. Many of his modules have been handed off to others, whilst many others are deemed unsupportable. And without in any way in inpuning any particular current maintainer, including Alberto, TheDamian is a hard act to follow. Especially TheDamian of the era when he wrote most of his most sophisticated modules. I have my doubts, even if he was still active in the P5 arena, whether he would be able to maintain the depth and breadth of knowledge it took to make many of these modules work in the first place, in the light of the ceaselessly moving target of both the state of the internals and the multiple hands on the tiller pulling it in ever new directions. As trends and fads change, so the ability of even the most talented individuals to keep up is limited, especially as the demands and rhythms of real life take hold. It's also an extraordinarily thankless task to maintain the works of an extraordinary author. Like asking a session musician to maintain the works of Beethoven; or a house painter to touch up a Cezanne. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
