Thanks for copying me on this email. It seems that I was automatically
unsubscribed from that email on May 1 due to excessive bounces, and 
failed
to notice that. I've resubscribed myself now.

I've also started to read the mails that have been exchanged so far.
The main issue is that I'm currently travelling and need more time to
articulate my opinion on the matter[1] than I have right now.
Please give me a couple of days to catch up.

Best,
Reinhard
