hmmm... not exactly.. then I would have to include every poster I want to
write something about in my adress book? Hmm...
And everytime I brought up the address-book I would have to scroll all
through it to find this particular poster in question? Hmmm hmmm...

I personally think it would work out quite well as a direct implementation
in Yarn.. but then again.. maybe that's just me.. :)

I think I would prefer the high speed of an internal address book.
