Thanks Roan, your statement sound very alarming for me; I'll open a specific
thread about into wikisource-l quoting this talk. I'm doing any efford to
avoid server/history overload, since I know that I am using a free service
(I just fixed {{loop}} template to optimize it into it.source, at my
best...) and if you are right, I've to change deeply my approach to #lst.
