Hello Vladimir.

13 Jul 06 10:07, you wrote to me:

You still here? Good. ;-)

I did not forget. That is covered by Russel's local time flags and by my
NOZMH flag proposals.

It is a problem, but it is a small problem that is managable. Plus of
course that there is always the alternative of running the system as a
point if one is unable or unwilling to observe ZMH.

You lost credibility on that arguments with your z6 dual listing stunt.

Anyway, it is good to see you are still here. Some evil tongues claimed you
all had left because you did not get your chocolate cake. Seems they were
once more trying to fabricate facts....

Cheers,

Michiel
