   Hello Nicholas,   
      
   On Sunday March 09 2025 08:13, you wrote to me:

   Thank you.   
      
   My notoriously unreliable memory tells me that you name should actually be   
   spelled "Boël" with two dots on the 'e'. Is that correct?

   This particular problem could indeed be easely fixed at the ZC's side. But it   
   should not be needed. Plus that it is hard to fight against someone knwowingly   
   and willingly looking for loopholes to derail the system. If this particular   
   loophole were blocked it could easely turn into an arms race that benefits no   
   one. The weekly error may be the lesser evil...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
