You don't understand that the essence of my intervention is for blame you (a
CBM employee) to doubt about Marc Barrett affirmation, you are not in the
position of impartiallity and you prove that with your affirmation to keep
some confidentiality. I know and understand i cannot obtain that kind of
information from CBM, but i'm (and many other peoples) are interrested about
confidetial information giving some hints in the way CBM go. We are a user
group and the priority for me is to protect the consumer this is why the
information from an impartial MB is most credible than a Salesmam full of
secrets (ie: Pink Floyd).

Now for the part of technical detail, CBM fail that way too. When you see an
announcement from CBM last time, no, not a mouth to ear announcement to a WOC
or WOA cheapo sunday Sesame Street Gamer Crazy price cutter from James Dionne,
but a real announcement like Apple told Newsbyte many times. I consider Apple
a serious company and they exist and they alive, because i receive information
about Apple, not only the good one but some time like "Apple sue XYZ".

I was never asked question the answer was expected. (This was a subtility
exercise by deformation of my part.)

Again you cannot prove the thruth by your position you are not credible, let
the impartial people judging.
