Following your advice to switch to the list after we learned I didn't really 
go AWOL, or at least not on my own volition...

Either you come to expect that, or stay confused for life. No kidding, btw -- 
I know of several such people.

Good. It would be even better to keep consistency in the grander scale, of 
course, but that would only come at an incredible cost in hours unless 
something like TM/2 could be used (wink wink).

Yes, except sometimes it all invites to play a claim chicken game (you know, 
when two people just keep claiming stuff hoping the other will get up and go 
check --the only way to win the argument is to lose the game-- ain't we got fun ;)

It looks like I'll be able to just rearrange the new text instead of the old 
one. We'll know for sure when I am done updating the translation. That way at 
least it will all be complete in case I can't get the rearrangement done and 
approved here before release.
