Sorry, Torstein, that I must let you wait some time, but exactly on that
particular topic I am preparing a principal commentary. Since not only you but
several others made that point of the wide variability in hardware and in origin
of the versions' birthdays. It's not that easy and I'm training on writing it in
German at first. Only to agree with you let me state that theoretically your
objection is absolutely correct, of course.
