That's what mailing list, newsgroups, faq, and search engines are for. Now they can find Philipp's message in the archives and/or ask another experienced user by whatever mean, and get a similar list. > Moreover, the program you > propose is rather personnal (you can read this, you can skip that) and > it is not sure that it would be convenient for anyone. For what it's worth, I fully agree with Philipp's list, so it's probably not that personal. Manuel.
