Dear Jens-Peer,
if a questions appears over and over ("10^6 times before") it should
mean something to thinking people!
Latins used to say, "Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum". Does
this mean anything to Mathematica developers? Do you mean that it is
impossible to find a sensible way to do something that 10^6 people
would do differently?
