Well, thanks. I might have been so fsckin' mad yesterday or so, but I try to forget that on the next day.

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. -- ZAK B.
