In other words, status quo. It makes me sad to get no sympathy, but I won't mention it again.. To make you understand why I asked, I could post a few urls to Norwegian newspapers with no comments, but I won't. I made a similar remark to Tracy a few years ago, and she immediately understood the problem and began adding a few of her own words. Her ten extra seconds per message made me save hours.
