Thanks very much for your reply to Paul's doublespeak! I couldn't have
said it better myself! ;-)

and that it does the necessary job! :-)
Feature lists don't usually match requirement lists, at least not in any
meaningful way. They're merely a quick guide to whether further
evaluation is necessary. Note that anything with too many unnecessary
features _MUST_ be eliminated first (i.e. before you eliminate the
things with "missing" features)! There's nothing worse than trying to
use some over-grown top-heavy feature-laden piece of crap to do a very
simple job (M$-Word to writing a simple personal letter, for example).

You can say that again, and again, and again, and again.... :-)
