The reason is very simple: I myself have much less technical knowledge about the problem 'AOO/MacOS' than Peter and would have to gather the facts first. Peter's text, however, already contains the right facts (I assume) and I see no reason to make an alternative text proposal. However, I can translate Peter's text into German if it would be of interest to have an additional German text for publication. > Precisely.
