Hi Michiel,

Are you familiar with the term "Devils Advocate"? If you are, then I think that
term describes how I am now reading your postings. In one breath you APPEAR to
state one thing, and in the next you appear to state something different (the
reverse???), then blame a comment on this reversal of stance as someone else
putting words in your mouth,, or "taking things out of context". 
If your postings are NOT clear, then perhaps someone else would be better at
stating your case that you would.


 MvdV> What I claimed is that P4 does not state who has to 
 MvdV> make the calls. 

Great, then we agree on something.


 MvdV> No contradiction, my opinion about what is reasonable 
 MvdV> need not be what P4 says about how it is or what it 
 MvdV> does not say.

Then I am puzzelled why your previous message now appears to be several pages
of agreement, when what you actually said seemed to be in contrast to that
simple sentence above... 

Yes... I think I will join the confused crew when it comes to reading your
postings.


 MvdV> In the rest of the message you continue this trend of 
 MvdV> twisting my words and lifting them out of context and 
 MvdV> frankly I get tired of it. You have not convinced me 
 MvdV> and obviously I am unable to convice you.

Convince each other of what! It sounds like we are actually in agreement on
much of this, which is odd because your many pages of message did not seem to
reflect that stance to me... at least not initially...

 MvdV> So have a nice day.

I have had a pretty good one thanks, I hope yours goes well too.

Cheers............pk.
