    I may still have my off day, 'coz I did not see any new features, no
more ease and my screen is still as dull as it was before. All I saw was
more room for the same data.

    In another posting I have explainend what logistic problems can be
expected from the dual nodelist project you propose.

    I would have liked it to be different and thus I will continue to find
ways of improvement, step by step in order not to break the net.
