Re: [Embedlets-dev] Interesting problem surely not unsolvable

[Brill P. <br...@pa...>]

heh... I'm still kurking on the list... But never got my time back.

In the end it was demanding work that stole my time... 3 years and two children later, I have even less time than I did then!

Its still a subject of interest for me but for now i'll watch from the side lines ;)
