And also ask if he is ok with a phone call, maybe also from others. But - tomorrow, not tonight, so with a bit of sleep and a gap to now. -- bye Joerg <mechanix> anyone from the MIA team around? tbm? <Ganneff> sounds nice. how long do you have to be MIA to get into that team? :) <mhp> you need to have a pgp key, I suppose. and no gpg one, and only a bo box <Np237> yes, but it must be expired
