Well, I'm not afraid of using the axe whenever it is justified and it
is. Read earlier posts from me, and you'll see that my statements are
100% correct. Or do some googling. None of the issues I'm raising are
new - the same goes for Axel's (hey, I got it right this time :P )
response. These issues are quite old and still unsolved. Therefore my
reaction.
And don't be mislead by my - sometimes - harsh style of writing. I only
do that when it is justified, and doesn't meen that Axel is my enemy or
anything like that. It's just that his dependecy-policy pisses me off ;)
Kind Regards,
