Dear Aleks:

"All that is solid will melt into air." (Marx, 1848).
In the post-modern world we have lost the solidness of the clouds and the
vapor between the clouds has become important for the reconstruction because
it may lead to a new perspective (innovation?). No roundabout for the return
flight. Sorry.

With kind regards,

Loet
