I don't know if the message was originally addressed to me. It seems,  
since I'm in cc, but on the other hand, you said the same thing as  
me: hard the implement. Well, anyway...

Maybe it was, but where can I see it? How can I know that something  
had already been discussed? In the archives, maybe? Ten years of  
archives? Thounsands of messages just to know if it had been already  
discussed?

Certainly, we would gain a lot of time if such a thing was available.  
And would prevent ad nauseam arguments.
