[Wien] My second day with wien2k

[Lukasz Plucinski]

Dear Markus,

Are you criticizing the way WIEN2k support is handled ?

WIEN2k is a program written for the scientific community, and as such it 
is very friendly. Support is quick and offered by real 
internationally-recognized experts -- their time spent to answer some 
questions is simply invaluable.

Although I am not one of these experts, I personally find that your 
comments have crossed a certain border of mutual understanding and good 
taste.

Regards,
Lukasz
