Hmm that one was a quick "hack" :-) and not meant to be seen by the 
masses...
So there are many spelling and grammar errors(did not even do a spelling 
check...), as english is not my native language(had to blame it on 
something ;).
Anyway would it be possible to set up an www page(hint,hint) or ftp 
server that deals with sound errors.
People could then submit their sound clip that has errors. And maybe 
even an SQL database so there aren't any reduncy and developers could 
mark out samples that has been fixed.
I would do it myself but i have not found any "free" www servers that 
has these capabilities. And i have a modem connection...
Good or bad idea?

bye
Magnus
