[xitami@lists.xitami.org]

Hello,   :) :)

Just saw the following comment in the Original Email listed below:

           
          "Plus, Xitami is unofficially dead. No long term solution. My advice 
           would be to switch to something supported. "

Would anyone care to comment on this????   :) :)

Thansk for your time, help, and advice!!!!
