Het Carsten,


Thanks much for answering, indeed I understand super well that things
are complex, and time is scarce, and I (nor does hk) do not take
anything personally.

Its only a bit sad, because we see there are possibility to do stuff,
and we cannot do it ourselves (baobaxia in not the only project that
could be supported) so ... what to do, is there anyone around you who
could take this over?

do not hesitate to reach back to us any moment when you have
availabilities, any of you involved.
