As I said I am sorry about my earlier explosion. But I thought there
was soemthing really wrong and I hope I expressed these thoughts
afterwards in the following mails corecctly.

I think this is a very true thought.
But this is not everything I think. For me Oudeis would be interesting
if (as I said very often already) it achieves a professional
status. I guess the only way to achiev that is to employ people
(and I am not thinking about myself here. I think a payed production crew
should be set up. People like Karin and Gernot if not them). This way there
will be people who work on it at least 8 hours per day.

Interesting thought but _I_ think that this is not restricted to Vienna.
I guess the _typical_ Viennese would rather grumble about the problems but not
speak up and show his/her anger. Then he/she would speak badly about the
project and about you behind your back.

I have no idea about that.
