Let me then restate myself. My real question was: is anyone going to do anything about it? And another thing: the question was (is) addressed only to people who are in a position to do something about it. (Perhaps I will have to learn to use these silly smileys, but unfortunately I don't know of any that indicate "irony", which seems to be a weak point of this forum. Obviously the triple question mark did not work as I intended) . Andrzej Kozlowski
