Hey Frits.



The answers <if he had them, which I seriously doubt> would have 
taken him about an hour to write.
My belief is that he will "forget" to answer you.
You never replied to my e mail.
I waited over 40 days for him to reply.
This site`s chat group is DEAD so I wont be back.
Thanks for trying for me.
Now you know why I was not convinced with his reductionistic beliefs.


all the best

Mike
