Yes. That was it.
But basically this was already given in Teodoro Santoni's
e-mail.

I am puzzled now. I actually did not get Alexander Kapshuk's
e-mail, it was not delivered to my gmail account. (But it is
present at https://marc.info/?l=9fans&r=1&b=201804&w=2 ).
(And it seems you might have not received Santoni's e-mail.)
I don't know what's happening here.

Thanks
