Gek,

You throw around an awful lot of serious and specific accusations for 
somebody who has declared 'no interest' in the specifics of this situation.

You send an awful lot of email for somebody who has complained of the 
difficulty of following discussions on the lists.

You seem excessively keen to polarise the discussion for somebody who 
professes such a belief in compromise. 

Do you have anything constructive to suggest as a practical way forward 
to address your concerns and get us closer to a resolution of the 
Belgian problem?   I think that they would be significantly more helpful 
even from your own point of view.
