   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.
