== Late apologies and question == 

 Hi Jimbo. I owe you two apologies. One for posting what was described as having “a chilling effect on discussion” to me later, and one for not having acknowledged and thanked you for the answer you gave me in spite of my terrible blunder some weeks ago. I really am sorry about it. This said, did you have a particular person in mind “at the German chapter [who] may be able to provide some feedback”? If not, I'm going to inform Geoff Brigham and let him handle the problem, if you have no objections. And just out of curiosity, had you read my last post on the thread? In any case, please accept my apologies. Thank you,
