Tobias, There is nothing wrong, I'm sorry if my last email conveyed that impression. If it was a complaint in some way, that would be to myself, because I have not been able to communicate my ideas as good as you did. Even more, you have a concrete plan of what should be done and my discussion was somehow rather "philosophical", but I haven't even made a concrete proposal because, sincerely, I didn't have one. I just felt that something is wrong and that was the reason of me sending the email in the first place. In fact the debate was helping me to reflect about the initial idea --I didn't actually saw Chris' reply as a counter-argument, but as helpful remarks. Then I saw your email (in fact, you send it earlier, but I hadn't read it), and I thought "that's what I meant! There's no point to go on with this conversation, he's all figured out already".
I'm so sorry if Chris or you might have felt offended by my previous mail. It never was my intention. I tried to be less wordy than usual but, as it turns out, it was a mistake. Sorry about that. By the way, I'd like to congratulate you for this new development, and I hope that the whole Matterhorn community may soon benefit from that work.
