I'll remove them.

I hear ya; I'll have to figure out a good way to integrate that with the
other information that needs to be displayed. Shouldn't be too hard

Dave Thomas and I talked about test ordering a while ago; really there

can't claim to have thought about it much. Added to the TODO.

These are all excellent suggestions... thanks for the feedback. Sorry
for taking so long to reply.
