That's fine.

You can also contact me via the ICQ number 1114787259999, without the
terminal nines, the MSN messanger handle
pakaran42@hotmail.extract_this.com, or, probably fastest, the AIM screen
name pakaran2. Two hours seems reasonable for me. I find the experiment
interesting of and by itself, money aside.

I also agree to your terms with regard to giving only a binary answer to
the list.

Nathan
