Well, thanks. I might have been so fsckin' mad yesterday or so, but I
try to forget that on the next day. I'm wondering, however, when every
time you resurface you seem to respond remarkably to my posts...

Hehe, but I have to tell you, a graphical routing facility that could
scale well would be neat. Even more so when it can run on a FOSS system.

Frankly, I don't have to think of you as an M$ hack. Devil's advocate
would be fine anyway. But don't you go thinking of me either as a Linux
zealot, too...

There are indeed things that can't (easily) be done on a FOSS system
(like typesetting for a 2-up book-fold document easily), but then again
it really all depends on the itchiness of the itch.

Now, you could either scratch it, or rub some anti-itchiness lotion. Two
solutions to the same problem. But of different results.
