People should apologize to Eduard. He hasn't done something wrong. It's a good thing to see that Eduard has a lot of friends here. Unfortunately that doesn't make a wrong thing right. It was not very nice to post so many losses of Zappa, and not mention the wins. This gives a false impression about Zappa. I don't comment if this was intended or not, but a lot of readers had this impression. Zappa is going to be sold in future, and this can have a bad influence on Anthonies business. If a new product is announced and somebody tries to decry it he can not expect the seller will like him for that. Now if you do that with a product that is sold for years and everybody knows, now that is sth else. I think Eduard should apologize to Anthony. bye Andy
