Agreeing with Poul-Henning. I do enjoy the discussions on the merits of 
various systems, a modernized Loran included. Long threads ranting about 
these issues however is outside the scope and just annoying.

There is obviously opinions enough for a separate list on the topic of 
PNT IPR issues, so let's move it there.

Cheers,
Magnus
