  Thanks for taking the time to express this!

  This is interesting.

  Wow, it's good to know it can last that long.

  What you describe here is very interesting, in a way I've
come to suspect most users don't have the slightest clue.

  I mean, everyone of us (as dillo users) have *different* use cases.
There's no way we can guess what other people are doing outside of
our awareness realm.

  Now, you're not only a casual user, but one that uses dillo *a lot*,
and appreciate it as an everyday tool.

  That being stated, we are very interested in knowing your use case,
and all the details of it. There's potentially a lot we can learn from it,
and also improve yours/and-the-generic user experience as a result of
this learning.

  So please elaborate on why you like to have it running for that long time,
what do you do with it, how you do it, what problem does it solve that other
tools don't, why is it your choice. What you'd wish it had.

  Some things may be possible, others not, a few may be solved in different
ways, etc. Just learning about those key tasks, or improving a single one,
would be a big gain for all of us.

  Your feedback as a dillo power-user is not only welcomed, it's asked for!


> Thanks again for all your hard work!

  Ack!


@all: if you're a dillo power-user, let us know about it!
