That's not a very good argument. Sergej Pupykin: 1480 packages Jan de Groot: 1094 packages Andrea Scarpino: 809 packages They all do an excellent job with maintaining a massive amount of packages at one time. Therefore, it obviously can be done without the "quantity over quality" issue that you speak of. Regards, Brad
