nusenu,
great respect of your work at first and thank you for the answer provided as well.
It - plus the follow up from that many contributors - did answer my questions apart from two left:
- should only Markus be contacted instead of lets say at least all the folks with more than 2 notes to make them aware?
- how could it take nearly a week for that serious discussion to start?
I tend to agree with what has been written "I am in favour of a scheme where the process of joining a family is
authenticated." Personally I will correct my entries soon to get me off that list :-)
