I have an even better one; after having convinced people to go with
Metacard for various reasons the next question that needs to be answered
(and a good one too) is what happens if you, the Metacard programmer,
get hit by a car tomorrow (knock on wood), is there a viable replacement
in sight?

Yes, we should get at least a line/word number in an error message but
since the number of Metacard/CGI users is 4 so far, I don't expect we
can dare ask for features.
