We do not own Amithlon, we are only the (exclusive) distributor of it. That is what I wanted to state. It was the same day I opened the _official_ lists, what I did after talking to VMC Harald Frank (one of the owners of Amithlon). We also registered amithlon.de and amithlon.com because VMC suggested us to do so.

I did not want to annoy you, but we can only care for one list. So for my point of view it does not make sense to have more then one list. I do not know what your intention was when setting them up, but I thought maybe you want to go on with them if we or VMC/Bernd Meyer do not want to take them over.

With best wishes,
Markus Nerding
