When you have CapnScurvy, Ed is nice to have in your corner, but completely unnecessary.
From a game historical point of view, it would be great to get Ed's Spyron mod hosted at Subsim so it doesn't vanish forever. But vanish appears to be Ed's intention. Modders are often prickly fellows who don't play well with others. I and my team try to learn from them and not be that way. We are not proprietary about our content and we give incorporated mods full credit to the modder who created them. There is no glory nor are there riches to guard. This is a cooperative effort not a game of Monopoly.

hey, i'm on your side. you do not have to sell me.
last year i communicated with Ed via email for a short time as i had questions while i was playing spyron.
after aanker passed away

and his site went dark, i emailed Ed and asked about his plans for the whole website, as it is font of WWII historical info. he said he had some plans and that he expected to be up and running is a month or so.
then neal stevens found out that i had Ed's email and asked me to ask Ed to email Neal because he (we) wanted to offer Ed a replacement area for Spyron. alas, Ed has not responded to me as yet and, as far as i know, he has not responded to Neal either.
the way you initially responded i thought you had communicated with Ed recently.
there is not a hellava lot one can do in situations such as this, is there?
hey, keep on truckin', baby. every day above ground should be a good day.
time to hit the rack
