Many thanks for the links, Volker!

It seems to me that both sides play hide and seek and it's just impossible to
get real information from anyone. I don't really understand why, but the only
thing I can reasonably do from here is to forget about the subject, because even
if I _wanted to_, I simply can't get enough data to not speculate.

I find that unfortunate _from both sides_, but it's their choice, not mine.
Should I ever say something about this incident in ICC again, please remind me
that I promised to never talk about this issue anymore. :)
