and that is the reason why tuning is exciting in the beginning and boring after
a few weeks. Once you realize that you didn't found anything significant after a
few month your motivation is going down.

Marc I would suggest you concentrate on one thing at the time, either different
books or different personalities.

If you are serious about testing perhaps you can test the current develpment
version, but in that case we should discuss how to coordinate our testing
efforts and you must accept certain standards of testing/tuning. If you are
interested write me to joachim@iwanuschka.de
