    Hi Gerold,

    your post hit the bullseye.

    Just as Pink Floyd put it in their masterpiece “Keep talking”:
    “For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
    Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
    We learned to talk”

    (and all we need to do is make sure we keep talking).

    Regards,
    Sejad
