My apologies Rick,

I've been on holidays and just got back. I'm not really over my jetlag.
I think I have confused you with somebody else.

Now that I think about it, I have admired your professionalism and can
see that you have done some useful work over the years.

So time for me to disappear for a few weeks and go do some work.

Take care

David
