:) "bat guano crazy" ... I add that to my dictionary...BEST! (I am no native speaker). Do I need to add anything else to get the full funtionality ? I read on the internet about GLSA and news will be not sent/synced when using git... but I couldn't determine the date of that post, so it may be something from the transistion times... What's about that? Cheers Meino
