It is never bullet-proof, but I don't see any legal risk or trouble here. Of course it could be me being ignorant or naive.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jaak</div><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 12 Sep 2018, at 23:02, Manfred A.
