Hi David,
I've sent something to your bank account. Should be available soon, if
not already.
Not as much I'd wish and with huge delay (sorry for that) ...
Thanks for all you've done and do.
@ all:
I'd like to invite you to consider joining (if not already done).
Well, I'm not a native speaker so I doubt I've expressed myself
accurately, so you may reread the mail I reply to.
Thanks,
Harm
Thanks for bringing that to attention, Harm. I believe my last email didn't went through, so I'll write again.
David, I also sent a l little bit of money. I, too, wish I could send more, but I'm not exactly wealthy, working on a shitty job in third world country... You say you cannot deliver much value, but I believe we are the ones in debt with you. You seem to be one of the more knowledgeable persons here when it comes to the Lilypond code and Scheme. I don't follow the commits of the Lilypond development, but I'm sure you made a lot of worthwhile contributions in the past. Besides, helping a person in need should be reason enough.
