Yes! Anyone who is on this list is very welcome to write me privately. I 
treat members of this list with a big esteem. And a few of these here 
are also on my linkedin profile (which is, at least in my case, a really 
great way of keeping and gaining contacts together).

My problems are now more of scientific type, research, not so much 
programming or something like that. You (or anyone here around) is 
welcome also to join a mailing list I created and maintain that is 
devoted to discussion of software that could be used for modeling of 
physical processes in nanotechnology - a broad subject and I am certain 
that contributions from many of you here would be very beneficial to all 
list members. Archives of the mailing list are here:
