Never is a long time, so I would prefer "not in the forseeable future".
Abandoning Bahrain seems like a logical decision whether they use personal
safety or respect for the vitims as reason. Regardless of it's the true reason
or not. Postponing instead of moving the event is something else entirely. Other
events and issues of fairness might intervene and endanger the entire event. Not
that it bothers me all that much to be honest. The project has seemed thoroughly
idiotic from the start IMHO. I'm far more excited about the three K's
tournament.

>P.S. now I am clearly more negative than Mogens.

Well, I wouldn't know about that :-). Being sceptical until something actually
happens is a reasonable thing to do in most cases. This one in particular.
