I'll keep my articles shorter next time :-) .. The email was a bit long 
because I wanted to reflect the users perspective, not simply UI terms.
Some lines are not completely clear - sorry.

One thing I want to add / propose: I think DOug did a great job by summarizing
past conversations. It is my opinion that is would be very valuable to end
EVERY subject
with a short summary of our thoughts.. This makes it much easier to get a
complete overview
on subjects, especially if someone wants to write a survey on a subject...

Ideas?

-Ernst
