No problem. Agree that quantum is not really something to worry about, though it's a good thing that someone out there is thinking of alternatives.
By the way, the Batch NFS has seemingly fallen out of favor. Despite being significantly faster in the usual RAM computational model, it has worse AT complexity than factoring integers one by one (see section 5 of [1]), due to its crazy storage requirements. It doesn't change the fact, of course, that RSA-1024 doesn't have much shelf life left.
