I think that basically comes down to a question of trust. I trust Peter to write
an ever so nice letter to Enrique or he is going to have me to answer to me
personally if I find out about what the heck he is up to now again. And I'm
serious.

It is part of the way this forum is set up that everybody has to have a working
e-mail address, to sign up to the forum and it is part of all our messages here.
Some matters that come up may better be further discussed by e-mail and it is a
way of being able to check to some extent one anothers identity. Maybe Peter's
question was just a reference to some past exchanges but then again maybe it was
a serious enough question directed to the forum in general. In this case I
thought it deserved a serious enough answer from somebody. If we don't trust one
another enough that we want to stay anonymous to one another and not to be
reached via our e-mail addresses what are we doing here then?

Thanks,
Eelco
