I'm very sad that our cooperation ended this way and I feel sorry about that. After your retirement after CCTBlitz05 I planned for long to write to you a detailed email - however personal circumstances have made this impossible. I hope I will find the time to do so in the future so that we can at least try to understand what went wrong. I prefer not to comment on your content of your email publicly but I will do it privately. Again I'm sorry for the disappointment you feel about making an opening book for Fruit. Joachim
