I originally asked the question (why use bonobo) because I honestly didn't 
know ;) it's good to see a few people knowing enough about it comment, 
because right now I understand why you guys would want to do this with

might be a good thing.

Yes! a real flamewar ! Christian, I would say that your reestablishment of
