Well mind you, typing it in google would have been easier and less 
effort therefore overuling your assumption of me being lazy ;).  Typing 
a whole question and request for an answer is a bit more time consuming 
and more stress to the fingers.

I thought I wouldn;t find an answer in google, so since I was already in 
the mailing list I will just post it. ;)

No offense taken, but when I'm in a mailing list I rather not have to go 
to google to find what I need when I am in typo3.org.  Maybe that calls 
for a better support system which comes with a better internal search? 
Maybe like a vbulliten forum or something which would make previously 
answered questions easier to find.

Some suggestions that maybe you and the typo3 dev team should consider. :)
