Hi all,

if I am getting on your nerves with my persistent forwarding of URLs
regarding Amazon.com's "one-click" and "affilitation" patents, cry out
and tell me to shut up. But you all know that you use one of _the_
e-commerce open software packages, so I think, even if off-topic, it still 
matters.

I am happy because things are moving and it seems in some positive ways.
