Yes. You know, Kami and the Hu.NL project are good folks, it's just that
sometimes, they hit the language barrier, I and others hit it as well,
so we remain stuck in the : "your stuff is cool, we know you don't mean
no harm, you just do something positive, but hey, the premium thing in
the name is somewhat of a problem". And then, you're stucked there
trying to explain what is so bad about the word premium. Another thing:
these folks are really part of the OOo community and don't do that for
money, prestige or anything, they just do it for fun and because it's
useful.

thanks for the caveat emptor, John.

Best,
Charles.
