</span>Hi Johan,<br>
<br>
we are in a rush :) The reason is that more people register when there's<br>
a schedule.<br>
<br>
Though I'm surely open for changing things. The question is what the<br>
best way of doing this would be, so it wouldn't be much to change it in<br>
the system, once we agreed on it.<br>
<br>
It would also be good to know what others think.<br>

Cheers,<br>
Volker<br>
