Carsten, I subscribed to this list in April '06, and I remember suggesting the *note* logging feature later that year (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/612). The next release (version 4.50) included *note* logging. Incredibly, three years later, despite the explosive growth of orgmode and its community of users & developers, you still implemented my feature request (coincidentally related to logging) within a day! Three years ago, I eagerly absorbed each new feature. Now, although I'm still an avid user of orgmode, the growth in my personal use lags behind the pace of development, and there are many new features that I have not even touched. In fact, I often can't even keep up with the volume of this list. Yet, the new features have little or no impact on the features I do use, even though I keep my version nearly at the bleeding edge via git. This is just great software design and management! Anyway, this is my way of saying a profound "thank you" for a great tool and superb support.
