Not permanently, but I would definitely have it as an option. But I personally think it wouldn't be all that hard to put them back now. After all, the Dutch royals have shown that you can totally overhaul a piece, and put it back again. But nobody was better IMHO than the brilliant Queen Mary! --Previous Message-- : : : Girls with pearls.
