Dear Spirit expert,

Sure I will admit this mailing list is a great opportunity when somebody can 
provide advice without getting paid for. So I would highly appreciate 
somebody who can push me in the right direction regarding the above. How 
nice would it be to utilize somebody's tried and tested approach to start 
from.

Very much thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Maarten Verhage
