Yup, people disagree all the time, otherwise we wouldn´t have discussions.. I must say that Fernando has a point here, if the page announces to be a news page, they should of course post news regardless who won. But I don´t see WHAT they can post after the tournament finished except final crosstable and the results.. Maybe they could have done an interview with Stefan, but maybe that´s too much to ask for. > > > > > > > >> >> It is the >>>responsibility of Shredder's distributor to trumpet its achievement loudly. >>> >>>Dave
