first of all I want to express my deepest impression about your and
all the developers work. About the very little fraction I have insight
I can say: it is a fabulous work, introducing nice new features and
making all more consequent.
Also, I followed the discussions about bounties, donations etc and I
will participate to do something monetary, if there will be an
established method. Or contact you if I have a personally request to
implement a feature I need.

But I'm disappointed about your statements about experienced users.
You're right, I'm quite sure I could have solved Helge's problem.
But I decided to answer to Brent because he was first. The rest of the
day I visited a good friend being in her very last period of lifetime
at the hospital.

So - very british - I'm not amuzed.
