Methods of this class

init: set up the main datastructures of this object, make it ready for the run

load: loading all the relevant stuff
loadWishes: loading the wishes database
loadSeries: load a file first col is the series pattern, rest are maxto fetch, min-fetched, and allready fetched numbers, if max is set to 0 fetching is unlimited, beware no spaces in the pattern!

I. Wronsky came up with this infernal concept and kludged the first 1.x of leverlada versions together. This gave B. Boettcher the incentive to begin this work, the famous itching paradigm!
