As you see, I wasn�t trying to impose a change...instead I asked a
question, why aren�t things being different, and what I think would be
better. I dont think it�s wrong to ask a question. If u read the
subject of my original mail u will see that its also formulated as a
question.

This in fact was the only disadvantage u pointed out.

Hmm...u admit urself that my suggestions wheren�t bad at all. So I
don�t understand why u are critisizing me. Just cuz Im new? Would my
posting be more valuable if I had stuck a while around here? What is
more important: the content of the message or the one that wrote it?
And...by the way...new people are sometimes better enabled to see
things that are wrong...cuz the older users are already familiar with
it, they got used to the system and to those things that are wrong.
Its the older users that are the most difficult to
change to a new system. Its like a new person entering a room with
lots of people in it and the windows closed...he senses the bad smell.
(this wasnt intended as a critic to this mailing list)

Yeah...Im also familiar with people like u, who think that their main
task is to point their fingers onto other people...
