Thanks for your time Mike, Cal, Andre! I had suspected that general consensus will be don't use admin :) still I had to ask. When i write down all the features admin has and features i will need to be created on top of admin somehow, i've come to the same conclusions. Still it hurts me a lot to be implementing the same old CRUD over and over again. Anyhow, thanks for sharing ! mars
