Um, I like to know who's speaking. "CM", "monpublic", "C" don't mean much to me. Have we met? Do you have a real name? Dos anyone here know you? (Georg perhaps?) While in general this isn't a forum where we count votes much, anonymous votes really don't count for much at all.

I'm sorry about that. I have been lurking for a long time, for some reason under this mailing address, and was forcibly reminded about that fact when I got a moderator message when posting from a more reasonable address. The name's Chris Monson, and we have definitely met. I'll fix my mail settings.
