Hello Paul,

You use HTML letters in mailing list. Using blue color shows your power.

Ich may not. Some parts of it are not open source. I think of clean rewrite.

Why bother posting code if it means Ich need to write long posts to
people who can not analyze more than their neighbour hood, but send
their mail fastly?

Some people asked for another column, "edit reason". That is hard but do able.
Ich will create database of bad tags with comments.

Ok. I will do the same way as DWG does. Ich will create separate
account WorstFixer_repair to distinguish it from my main account.

US ist on the globe. They forget that from time to time, but must
remember. Consulting global community is enough, according to current
policy.

I ask you to finish it and show. If you are not able to, Ich will have to.

This edit consists mostly of US import clean up. You know that. You
just lazy to fix it. Three years already.

Post-rebuild ist way of telling "fuck off forever".  Some believe in
Jesus second coming, some believe in rebuild. I not share both belifs.
Both not have any effect on what Ich doing.
