Thanks for your wise comments Fernando. One thing to add, this whole
episode might look silly and maybe I better should have shut up but then
being a journalist yourself you as know how it goes. That is, something is
going on -> news -> write about it. That's the journalist job, write news.

I just want to avoid this whole thing being wrongly spelled out in all kind
of magazines later because it *will* show up. Then better give the right
information now it still can.
