I had a long and useful exchange of emails with Thomas. We did not resolve our divergencies, we sort of "agreed that we disagree", but on one point I have to admit he was right. Thomas pointed out that in one of our messages I have made a false statement, or at least a misleading one. Digging in my folders, I have found the message and the sentence, which is "Incidentally, can we have a list of who can speak, as we have for the time being already excluded Nick, as staff, and yours truly, as Board member, but ...". I recognize that this would imply that somebody has attempted to shut me up. This has never happened, as the criticism to what I have said, by Thomas and everybody else, has always remained within the limit of the debate among people who have strong opinions and are passionate about the issues. Please accept my apologies for the unfair sentence above. Best regards, Roberto
