Ah, that's what "balance" is for. Makes sense to me :-)

Christian, somehow, I'm missing a bit of documentation. I know that writing 
documentation is a major pain in the a..., but it must be done eventually.
Have you ever thought of installing a Wiki about Stackless? There we could 
all contribute snippets of documentation, example code, etc.
And the good thing for you: you don't have to write the stackless bible (1500 
pages) all by yourself :-)
