Steven is correct here, Carsten is a great fellow and very open to constructive criticism. He and I have corresponded about our 40s and 50s Bianchis over the years and he has been very helpful in answering questions I have that he has knowledge of. He has a working knowledge of English/American and there is no problem in communication (despite my name I have no knowledge of German).

We are all students here and each of us has something to share...
