The fact that it isn't perfect doesn't mean that we should give up on it.
It has bugs, but they are fixable bugs. NFS is definitely not
a better solution. It is much *less* elegant, for a variety
of reasons not worth explaining. One is the added overhead.
This isn't a flame, by the way, but your .sig is a bit over the
McQ limit, and I doubt it's really affecting the Bosnian situation.
