Hi Mark

Oh, my comment was certainly not meant personally - it indeed sounds
like you know, what you are doing. It was a general remark.

Still, my advice is not to waste time on a package that misses the
essential qualities - if these are not fulfilled, everything else
(including add-ons) will fail somehow sooner or later.
