Basically, by collecting these letters I will try to prove to the reviewers that GenABEL is already stable framework, it is something really used and useful, something worth investment in. </div><div><br></div><div>-- If you would be willing to ask any further question, give suggestions, discuss possible ideas, or give an advice, I will highly appreciate this (please answer to he list or contact me personally -- as you feel appropriate)</div><div><br></div><div>with best wishes, </div><div>Yurii</div><div><div>
