I'll sign that. Just btw., signing up at LUGNET should speed up
significantly now that LUGNET is being run by a fresh team. We have just
moved to a new (much faster) server, and René (who also runs
1000steine.de) and I (for the hosting and technical part) will take care
that new signups are answered timely.
Looking forward to see you there.
