Hi,
Thank you, Marcus, for remindig me of this. Yes, I think this
is better than choosing one option or the other, for _other_ people.
As far as I, personally, am concerned, our previous conclusion
on this topic remains the final word -- I have seen nothing new come
up in the recent discussion (please go and read the archives ;-).
