[drupal-devel] Working around node_access in node/add

[Bèr Kessels]

Mark,

two small things: 
Did you look at my clipper.module. It does node relations already.
It is a pity you did not post anything about node relations earlier, for i am 
in need of extending or even rewriting clipper. module, to have more advanced 
relations. But it might not be too late yet. :)
