Hello.Stefan.

You are right.
To tell the truth,I was looking for the chance to change the name.
Therefore, E-mail from you is a hoped thing for me.
Indeed, I am glad that the eminence of my project goes up little by little.
Then, there is asking.
May I disclose the content of mail from you in general?

The purpose is as commemoration.
I will not quarrel with you.

Your good jobs are good encouragements to me.
