Speakeasy had a blow-up with the moderators and was banned last year. I miss him and, more importantly, the community misses him and his contributions. I hope he will be invited back soon.

I was wondering what happened to him! The idea that this forum purged one of its most important members is unsettling. Yes, he could stir the pot once in while, but who doesn't like good drama? I am starting a thread to petition that he be returned from the netherworld to which he was banished.

Is there a current source for the old DLI materials? My feeble search skills find only GLOSS material.

This is the only place I know of, there is a newer site with FSI stuff but it doesn't have DLI. Yojik has both.

Thanks a lot. Now if memory serves, rdearman provided this information as well a while back. The word Yojik rang a bell. I will bookmark it to help my fading memory.
