Desperate plea to FP Tech...

[Fairlight]

You'll never BELIEVE what John Esak said here...:
[snip petition and such]

Yea.  

Addendum:

Much as I like and respect your room, John, I think it should be a -posted-
announcement -here-, where it becomes an archived matter of public record.
This is one of those things that, if it's important enough to be done, it
should be done all the way--and that means that it doesn't just live "in
the moment" or "experience" that we've talked about before with the room,
where if you didn't bother showing up, too bad, your loss.  I daresay it
-should- be a matter of broad public notice, archived, and findable by
anyone in the broadest sense of the fP community doing a Google search.

As a quick footnote, enhancing the screen size need not -remove- 80x24
support.  Done properly, it should honour the terminal settings as set by
stty.  If you want 80x24 yet, you'd just keep your terminals set that way.
A rare instance where you can have the cake and eat it too.

Petition signed,
