Sorry. It seems you didn't get the basic point of my questions before!

I wrote these questions below because they apply to every of the T3X dumps
you have published. I actually don't need to see the answer in here, but in
case that I would like to use one of your extensions, these questions would
be the ones that I'd be interested to know about...

Why do I so often feel that we two are talking at cross-purposes?
