first of all I want to express my deepest impression about your and all the developers work. About the very little fraction I have insight I can say: it is a fabulous work, introducing nice new features and making all more consequent. Also, I followed the discussions about bounties, donations etc and I will participate to do something monetary, if there will be an established method. Or contact you if I have a personally request to implement a feature I need. But I'm disappointed about your statements about experienced users. You're right, I'm quite sure I could have solved Helge's problem. But I decided to answer to Brent because he was first. The rest of the day I visited a good friend being in her very last period of lifetime at the hospital. So - very british - I'm not amuzed.
