Re: CONDUIT grids getting later and later again

I still think the majority of users of both ftp and CONDUIT have it so they can 
get the 1 deg GFS.
Unfortunately the addition of the 0.5 deg GFS has pretty much created this 
quagmire.   In my mind
the only way to restore usability is to take out the 0.5 deg.   Those  who use 
the 0.5 deg could
still get it via ftp.
