Remember that the question was posted on this public list, so a response here is what anybody would expect. If a discussion needs to take place elsewhere, and that would take time, that's OK. But then, it would have not been hard to send a quick & short "it's being looked into" note. That was my whole point (in response to Ryan). But now I am curious: if you did not know that there was a violation until I mentioned it today, what were you discussing then? Regards, Jorge/aka Koki
