I don't know why you keep deleting that message, but I'm surprised.
Oliver, I see your comments coming through in my email, but I'm not deleting them from here, despite the fact that they're off-topic for this post.
yes, they are a little off-topic, but interesting nevertheless. Dunno why it keeps disappearing.
