Hi, thanks for jumping into the room to answer questions. Personally I am not a fan of this idea. But that is currently not my point. Sitting in Germany, I have not received this mail (I am a workspace admin for my private stuff and a works

Wow. This sounds like an interesting project. Would love to share some coffee with the designer as well. And in hindsight obvious in times of my phone transmitting my number to the other party.
