Dear Tosh,

You obviously have understood, though I have not explicitely mentioned it,
that my posting was not directed towards you personally as an offence -
there have been several other persons posting information. It seems to me
that you have understood my reasoning. I appreciate the efforts you have
put into the translations, but once again you obviously understood my
reasoning. I think that a summary would be appropriate. I hope that your
family will appreciate the extra time you grant them...

I have been thinking what I would like in case I would be a victim of such
a case - well, I cannot be. I underwent recently some medical problems,
from which I have well recovered. But I have not informed anybody except my
closest relatives about the problem. Maybe I am biased? 

Best regards,

Franz
