Is it really that easy to dismiss Femkes opinions? She was "late" and
did not follow the structure you want this discussion to follow?

well, here you start arguing ad-hominem. So the fear of a flame war
apparently was not exactly unfounded.

Yes, it would have been better to discuss these questions with you in
person. Unfortunately that was not possible and there was no one else
available to discuss even the most basic financial questions on a base
of facts. It was a collection of hearsay and guesswork. And this is a
huge problem.

/me heads out for a walk to do some venting. I'll then hopefully be able
to respond in a more constructive manner to your long mail.

Bye,
        Simon
