Yes, I would. I have known Patrick for quite some time and past communication
with him makes me pretty sure that the odds are on my side. Would you
bet to the opposite ?

I am not really unavailable. In fact if someone bothered to ping me
personally I would have noticed immediately. The list traffic was
stalled for quite some time and I haven't been reading it on a regular
basis for a while so I missed the interesting part.

Anyway, I am making making my way trough the mailing list volume for
the last two months. I would not like to comment before I have gone
trough all threads but some threads caught my attention already -
search for  "mhl".... Does it feel familiar, is it what MC really
needs ? Is this someone's excercise ?
