Hoi Demetrios, 

Sorry for the late answer, last week was a bit crazy.

Thanks! I hadn't seen this paper yet.

I actually wanted to avoid extracting the data on my own,
as there are a lot of pittfalls in this. And I'm sure I am
not even aware of half of them.

Your paper contains part of the information I was seeking.
And quite a bit that I wasn't but is very intersting. I need
to spend some quality time with it :-)

Thanks a lot and have a nice week!
