To pre-empt (or rather post-empt) needless speculation:
my 2 messages above were not inspired by the huge threads
running currently. Or running last year for that matter.

I simply seized the opportunity to comment on the top of
the page, which then looked like:
  May 05, 2004 at 12:47:59  Question to Moderators...
  May 05, 2004 at 17:29:57  Question to Ed Schröder
  May 05, 2004 at 18:06:50  Question for Sandro Necchi
  May 05, 2004 at 19:06:14  Question for Corbit
  May 05, 2004 at 22:08:21  To George Tsavdaris
  May 05, 2004 at 23:21:08  Question for Johan de Koning
It just triggered my sense of humour. Which, combined with a
good mood, inspired me to post a piece of advice. For free!
:-)

... Johan
