Hello George,

So good to see you are becoming more active on the list. Your ideas an input 
are valuable. We need as much breadth of perspective on this as possible. 
Could I however ask that you please not top post. The mailing list is more 
than just a way to communicate, it is an archive, and top posting really 
makes it hard to read the archives in of a thread. It would help if you could 
bottom post and cut off anything that is not related to your responses.

The script idea is cool. Could you compile a list of it and perhaps script it 
for us. I don't think we can package it, but we can most certainly put it up 
for download. Keep inmind that some people will not want to install all the 
cool stuff, so there must be an easy and documented way for them to customize 
the script. Perhaps once we see the script we can create an interface with 
checkboxes to include or exclude items.

Nice idea.
