Hi, Christina,
I apologize, I did not mean to exclude you or your questions in my post. I do understand you are not 'criticizing', you are inquiring about certain issues of which I am also interested in the answers.

Adelasie,
It realy does not touch the point I was searching for.
also not for any weakness I am interesting for.
Possibly others have something on your answer, but I not at all.
How Judge thought about is also not of any importance in this

I did not know this would bring such a Kyen.
