It is a little embarassing, but I don't really remember that.
So it must have been a rather superficial discussion (or with
someone else). Don't be mad at me when I am forgot something

I have no objections at all, but you would have to be patient with
me since I don't have a lot of continuous time at the moment, and
more importantly, I might not be the expert on that code that
you seem to think I am. ;)

That sounds like a good start.
