I see you still have fun of software administration to the server, thanks.
Therefore I will mention some wishes of myself public.
1) It is anoying to see the password you typed in, after your login id, echoed
   on the screen. Especialy it is the only login to a system I know were the
   password is'nt hided. People looking about your shoulder are ... ?
2) About the rating: I think it will be more interesting to keep them not se-
   cret. Mostly I would like to have the ability to look at a sorted "rating
   list".  By the way: If you give absolute ratings, you can show NR ranked
   people their rating, too. Nice gift to see the rating: xyz 0.7 dan :)
3) Only for estetic elegance (and maybe fairness): During the removale phase,
   after the end of a game, it should be allowed only to remove own stones.

I hope it dones't demand to much effort to install these features !
