Way to go???
I would say "What the hell are you thinking?".  Love
and family are the meaning of life, not a better
sounding audio file.

I'm sure that this project isn't the only reason for
the breaking up of his marriage (like it sounded in
the article) but if the article was even 10% correct
in this topic, then I hope Monty hasn't totally pushed
her away yet.  Marriage is rarely entered into
lightly, and it is worth fighting for even to the
exclusion of other parts of life.

I guess I feel guilty.  I eagerly waited for the next
release of ogg vorbis without lifting a finger to
help.  All the while Monty was losing his love, his
job, his social life to give this to me.

Maybe if more of us helped out with the project, it
can go smoother and Monty can have his life back.

Just my thoughts
