I want to thank Felix "in the open". Despite his very tight schedule he
took his time to write to us and submitted me privatedly a copy of his
awesome well written report (it didn't arrive via List or I deleted
it accidentally).

Regarding the report: It's seldom to find bright and detail-observing
people. Once upon a time when I was a Junior I was "hooked on"
crime-thrillers and wanted to become a detective. Nowadays I laugh aloud
over this childish dream, but I learned a most important skill: To keep my
eyes open, memorize the details and figure out the lost or missing piece in
the Whole without becoming too fancy. Helps me now to put organ puzzles
together <G>; on history research (which is really a 'detectivesque' task!);
and to write <GG>. With this I come to Felix' somewhat alarming remark:

> > I should better not write too much...

Yes, I feel guilty too about my usual AGEP's. But what the heck, I consider
these forums as an *educational* institution, and there are things that
cannot be said in two or three words. And some times it's necessary to
become "clip & clear" too. Keep writing, Felix, and don't forget to put in
plenty of :)'s, :('s, <G>'s and simmilar signs to show something that is
humorous or tongue-in check meant. It makes a world of difference in
writing.

Best
(and MY apologies to the Lists Family for this off-topic. No thread, please)
