Your version is nice.
I heard (and saw) it the exact same day you put it
on YouTube, but for some reason I did not go on the forums
and then things came between it and I never came to it.
I was already thinking about it but now this gives me
a great opportunity.
I hope you can forgive me Markus, I'm sorry,
please put away the ping-pong bat.
