Hi Sven,
thank you for your promt answer. But what you are suggesting is, that I should
get
rid of the 30s delay, I guess.
But my question is, what to do If I have (for whatever reason) such a delay.
Even
more precise what is going wrong (or is it realy wrong?) if I handle the delay
in the way I mentioned.
All the best,
Hank
