I agree! Now the only remaining question is: who's gonna do it? I wish him/her good luck :-) Please be sure that the people on the list are told where/when to send their vote. A common misconception is that only users with news access are allowed to vote for/against newsgroups. In fact, anyone is entitled to do so, especially since mailing list subscribers are possibly affected by the outcome. -- Volker -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volker A.
