Just hold on for another hour (I hope) and wait for a very, very exciting
e-mail :-)
You will not be bored this weekend.

Ok, here's my view on this.  We don't need forums and a mailinglist, if:
-) We have a good FAQ maintainer and the FAQ is updated very regularly
-) We have good searchable archives for our mailinglists.  On this issue;
geocrawler will never do.  Even if they start archiving the mailinglists
(they haven't done so until now; have not had any response to my support
request either), the search engine sucks and will not return the mails
you'dd expect.

Kind regards,


        Mark Wormgoor
