Things that get cut away are ACKed, not deleted. It means that it's ok, 
no more to discuss, that part if agreed.

I don't see Adam said this, please don't assume it's so.

Mats, please accept the fact that your mails have, even if not sought, 
brought a bit of confusion and defense in Adam.

And Adam, please look more at facts, not words. If Mats is here there is 
a reason. And if he is frustrated, and still remains here, it's only our 
fault, as he sees value in something he wants to use but can't get to.
Also remember that he has offered to help, which is a very positive and 
constructive attitude.

As for me, I'm actually very happy that Mats has offered to look at the 
new docs we will write. I still remember his first post, and I'm still 
thinking about it:

As I have written in the other mail, let's see in what I can help, based 
on your needs :-)

Deal?
