Pleased to meet you.  Rufus seems like a fine tool.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand most of what you just said.

Is this some additional new experiment that you were actually suggesting
or advising me to carry out?  Or were you just offering this additional
information IN CASE it might appear (to me) to be useful?

If the former, you will need to elaborate further.  If the latter, I
will just thank you for your willingness to offer potentially helpful
additional info.
