Hi Stefan,

I also have a nit to pick :-) .  It's not clear to me whether the clause
in the last sentence is meant to be restrictive or non-restrictive.  If
restrictive, I recommend removing the comma before the word "that".  If
non-restrictive, I recommend replacing the word "that" with the word
"which".

Best regards,
Larry
