Dear Willard,

thank you very much for clarifying! Never mind, as I can imagine the vast
amount of messages flooding in. I was just asking myself whether I wrote
something so far off topic or nonsense (that may open a new thread, what is
nonsense ...) that I got rejected, since I was longtime a quite silent
reader but decided only very recently to add myself some ideas.
That encourages me to - whenever I feel able to - contribute.
And even a "rejected" message may be useful for me since I can learn from
it.

Thank you very much again, also for this wonderful list!

Kind regards
András Gálffy
