[Osmf-talk] Continuity

[Allan Mustard]

Frederik,

Mea culpa.  Internet was so slow in Ashgabat that I never bothered to
try, and since returning home, the resettlement process and repair of
our neglected house have combined to keep me busier than expected and
will through the end of this calendar year.  If that means I am
disqualified, I'll withdraw my candidacy.

cheers,
apm
