Yes, let's see what Spiridonov has to say; he seems to be qualified in this field

Right, Fernando,

I'm keen to profit from his competence. Hope he'll share it.

Good day to you, Michael and Fernando!

I am also waiting with interest for a reply, but I'm beginning to turn a funny colour.....

With best wishes,

Richard.

Spiridonov, are you still around ?

Fernando

Thank you, Fernando and Richard,

Well, I guess that Spiridonow obviously has taken his time studying profoundly what I posted in November and consequently drawn his expert conclusions. After all, he may have a far better collection than I, more books and may have been to more museums than I have. Who knows?

We should not worry too much, though, my friends - to each his own ...

Michael
