Hi Mike,

I can see you are concerned and you are right.

OTOH we have some load currently and I wouldn't mind to go through what
Andrew worked out for it so far. Especially as we never had much/any
useful from those testers, but might change if it is employed long
enough ;)

At least, and thanks again for calming me down once, it is not about
some white space only now.

Cheers,
Hermann
