Dear Stephen, dear Mike,

All the best for 2011.

Since I haven't got any response so far, may I ask you again to consider
my mail from September 2009?

Thank you
Ralf

Ralf,

One might wonder if after several years of sending these requests with
absolutely no response one might wonder whether it might be possible

proceed with resurrecting it under some new organization?

Regards,
Bill Page.
