Hello Andrew,
 
The pleasure and honor is all mine Andrew. 
 
Thank you for the trust and about perseverence... well, my wife would tell you that whenever I get into something, I'll be nagging and nagging until I achieve
it 

 .
 
Seriously, all I did was to convince the knowledgeble ones to participate and that was not difficult. You and everyone else has bestowed in me your trust for which I am really honored.
 
Very best,
 
Antonio
