Hi and thanks for your feedback and rating. I do agree that we need to improve some of our legacy tools and code, which is why we are doing exactly that. In fact our work on replatforming is an increasingly important part of what we are currently doing and is gaining momentum. I hope you will continue to see improvements in this area. Thanks again Ryan
