Actually I stepped up as mentor when Grant resigned.

If you read this file to the end you will find: "Please report feedback to the labs mailing list." Meaning this file have not changed since it was first created in Apache Labs. That is the only reason for this unusual credit. It started as personal research project and we have not reviewed this file ever since. Thanks for pointing this out, I will fix it right away. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler <thorsten.at.apache.org> codeBusters S.L. - web based systems <consulting, training and solutions> http://www.codebusters.es/
