Hi Odd. Thanks for saying so. And, because I don't believe I've ever addressed you directly, thanks again for your part in the push parser. > On Tirsdag 19 januar 2010, Joel E.

I realized yesterday that our POT files have changed a little since 2.4.1, so we probably need to put a 2.4.1a out for about a week. I'll try to roll that today or tomorrow.
