Re: some interresting project i just stumbled across...

[Oliver Leitner <Shadow333 () gmx at>]

I dunno whats this all of a sudden, but.

1. dunno what you have against my signature, btw, if you got a better idea or 
a better formulation for it, im open for it.

after all im not the only one with such a signature here or on any other 
mailinglist, so why this all of a sudden reaction on it? arent you guys a bit 
late with that?

2. i am not the web designer, but i forwarded that information to our 
webdesigner, thank you for the input:)
