Hi, Did I pick the wrong list to post this request for help? I am sorry if this is 'just another spam' mail to the list, but it would be nice to know if and why this kind of post is not acceptable. Otherwise was nobody interested? Thanks for any (meta) suggestions! I would love to know the correct place to send this kind of request.
