Sorry, it looks I didn't notice your message in the pile of spam which was waiting in the approval queue and deleted it by mistake. It certainly wasn't intentional, it's just that there were ~100 spams in the queue after my 4 day absence...

This has happened only twice (including once in the very beginning) during 7 years so it's not a frequent occurence -- even if, unfortunately, I can't say any more that it has never happened.

I'd really like it :-)) Considering that Mahogany releases happen once a year or so I don't think such a scheme would be really practical.
