I don't think that is as important: Since the introdution of the advocate the queue of people waiting to get an AM assigned is getting smaller. Currently, there are 4 (in words: four) advocated people waiting for an AM, with a maximum waiting time of one week. In the very near future the queue might be completely empty. cu Adrian -- Nicht weil die Dinge schwierig sind wagen wir sie nicht, sondern weil wir sie nicht wagen sind sie schwierig.
