Dear Pedro and colleagues,

The issue is in my opinion, not the generation of more information 
(probabilistic entropy), but the specification of the selection 
mechanisms. These are system-specific.

I wish you a happy new year and thanks for keeping the list going.

Best,
Loet

>And to everybody: enjoy the Xmas time! Feliz Navidad from Zaragoza.
