Dear Michael, It was of course clumsy of me to quote a message with your words in it, when it was Michael Byström's frenetic PM "attacks" I intended to comment. Please forgive me. I wasn't out to hang you nor anybody else, which I hope was understood when including my own thoughts as well.
I was just suddenly struck by Michaels approach and inspired by his "fighting spirits". Obviously, he must really like the app or he wouldn't bother wasting his energy. And with all that energy, it would be such a waste if it was completely neglected by CTM. Thus "hurray, hurray". Finally -- and please forgive me for quoting you slightly out of context, but I can't help myself -- you kind of "give away" this one.

There is a secure and final solution to this: Never ever upgrade... ;-) Max G At 2003-05-28, 09.55 CET, Michael Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Max Gossell sez: > >>I've felt one or two inklings here like "if that guy Mikael Byström is so >>mad about everything, why doesn't he just leave PM and go look for >>something that suits him better some other place?". >> > >You quoted me in this message, probably because it was part of Mykael's, >and my message said nothing of the kind.
