[dddwg] MaThCryst articles....Re: Reminder of task set to IUCrCommissions.....

Dear Massimo,
Thank you for your prompt reply and indication of an alternate, which is fine and we look forward to receiving the name.
Re 'faintest connection to this topic'; is it really the case that MaThCryst's articles never have accompanying primary data?
Best wishes and regards,
John
