Dear all,

my previous reply (sharing platform) contains one severe error
(the reply was just written off my head):

I referred to the EUG conference and 2001 (Bulgarian geologists).

That I think was the conference before 1999 or even 1997.

What I wrote (Hilton vs. Holiday Inn and deduction based on that)
is however correct (I remember a talk I had 2001 in a Hotel where
I was freezing and that definitely was not the Hilton so it must have
been 1999 or 1997).

I apologise for having written fast.

The idea with the sharing platform I regard worth trying.


Most sincerely

Peter
