Dear Willard,

thanks a lot to Brian Maher and the team supporting Humanist at King's!

This is indeed very good news if you are interested in the development
of the reception of ideas from other disciplines within the community
interested in the connections between the Humanities, information
technology and the disciplines providing their conceptual background.

Some surprises turned up immediately.

My best,
Manfred
