Woops... sorry! I usually try to get people's names right; only if
they don't put them underneath their message I use their email name.
But now I see your name was there all the time. Probably missed it
because my current_timestamp reads 02:26:33 (give or take a few msecs
;-)) ... time to go to bed.

Good night,
Paul
