Cool.

BTW, Christoph, any time I try to send you mail it comes back in a week with 
a non-delivery notice. So far as I can tell, there is no response from 
either of your e-mail addresses to any attempt to send mail from here. Not 
sure why, maybe someone has blacklisted us for no obvious reason (don't have 
a problem with other correspondents). So if you're wondering why you never 
get any mail from me anymore, that's why.

                                    Randy.
