Hello, dear all together

I am very sorry for this delay, I actually wasn't away, rather it is mainly that I do not find any words to express how overwhelmed I am about your idea of and contribution to a special volume. This nice issue came at a time when I was especially overloaded with work - no, this is not true, it is always that I am. Indeed it was a great surprize, and you were all so kind to keep me totally unaware until I received Michel's and Nicolas' mail.

Due to this overload I did not so far manage to read thoroughly all these nice articles but one. I regret this very much, but you will hear from me, one by one.

In any case, you helped me in a decision that I carry with me since a long time. I now decided to lift my incognito ;-) The reason for this delay is that I did not have any good images that I liked enough. Well, this situation did not change substantially still....

I must go now for my daily work - see you.

Thanks a lot for your interesting collections that you let me participate over the years through this wonderful forum.
