   Really?? I had no idea! Maybe I can scrap my leafnode setup then and move   
   to fdm? I think fdm (well I guess, I haven't actually checked) might be   
   more minimal even than leafnode, so thank you for the pointer! I will   
   definitely have to check out the fdm manual today! =)

   Ahh got it. Yes, I do not want to have a database for text based articles   
   only for my personal use.
