I think it's good to see the list being used for something related to
what it is actually about, so thank you for having the discussion here
:)

Well, I did contribute early on in the discussion... but yes, I have
been following with interest. I do sometimes wonder about the people on
the list - how old they are, what their work commitments are, etc. In
Thomas' case, if he is self-isolating than I suspect he is not able to
do as much work as possible and therefore probably has the time required
to be doing research about this and also writing emails.

No, to the contrary: please keep it on list. I think it is very
interesting, so thank you both very much :)
