It will take me considerable time to address this more thoroughly, but
in the mean time I want to have on record that what Mike writes here
under "this emerged as the best way" _not_ in _any_ way summarizing our
discussion.  Instead it is his _personal_ idea how to address topics we
covered.  Writing something like "this emerged as the best way" when we
did not even talk about it wrongly insinuates that it presents a common
understanding of how to address problems covered in the discussion.

Feel free to quote passages or complete mails from me in the course of
that discussion: there is nothing in there that I would not have equally
said in public.
