Let me know how you plan to proceed. [OT] BTW, your mail (Dave) also arrived to my address and not to laszlo-user. Maybe I've misconfigured something? I'm sending this email to laszlo-user at openalaszlo dot org with a CC to Dave's address, if there's something I should do to not get responded to my address but the mailing list, please let me know.
