[Other] Course in Cologne focusing on VMS

[hermesj]

Torsten's work has been discussed here quite a bit, in a critical manner, so I find it hard to understand Jürgen Hermes' comment that this would not have been the case.

I didn't write that (but I apologize if I expressed it misleadingly). What I wrote was that A) I'm still surprised that the autocopist theory has received relatively little attention (with Cheshire / Gibbs etc. in mind). Also I wrote that B) I still cannot find any real arguments in the relevant forums to suggest that an alternative theory would be preferable to that of the autocopist. Witch doesn't mean it wasn't discussed. But I'm glad I gave you an impulse to re-read the papers ;-)
