I don't know, there are many suggestions that are by far easier to 
realise and even then the most common answer you get is 'it takes too 
much time'. I don't mean to argue if it really does take too much time, 
all I want to say is that this won't be realised pretty soon. I think 
it's comparable to expanding airports.

BTW: www.tt-forums.net is a much more active place where alot more 
discussion about TTD and TTDpatch is taking place then on this newsgroup 
or www.ttdpatch.net
