We were worried that our article was not reaching the powder crystallographers as it was published, although Open Access, in Acta Cryst A. Jim Kaduk advised me to use this excellent list-server, so I became member and posted our message. Now I'm happy to mention that since that day Acta A counted almost 700 downloads for the paper, so we clearly reached our goal.

I was also pleased to follow the discussion, very lively and interesting, and thank all contributors. The discussion was led day and night by our excellent chair/moderator, Alan Hewat. Alan, you did a fantastic job, summarising, adding information and making essential links. Thank you very very much!

As a matter of course we didn't took part in the discussion, but now I like to make one comment on the question 'why now'. This is a quite long story and carries a lot of non-scientific information. So it couldn't be part of our paper, but may be once it will be written down and published in the IUCr Newsletter.
