some input for the 'extra mile' initiative

[A.B. Ole]

Hi Martin,

thanks for your explanation. I guess subscribing to the mailing list and
posting my ideas in 1 long email will be fine. I have to make a list of
things that I think need imnrovement, so in the next few days I'll be
working on this.

cheers,

Alrik.
