I've started reading it again and was thinking about the changes between versions. I could as well proof read it, but wich version should I read? > you don't really need to read it to find stuff relevant > to some subject.

It's been so long that I read it that I want to read it again. BTW, when I was reading it, I was wishing I could open links in other buffers or windows like I would open another tab in a web brower. Is there some way to do something like that? It can make it easier to keep track of the history as you can break up a history tree into something far more navigable by using tabs as anchors of branches (that have branches, etc.).
