I understand that someone had quite different PRIVATE conclusions which led to the self-celebration of F-C and yourself in Fermilab, as I can understand reading the program (unfortulatly I was unable to attend, and your and Louis' transparencies are not avalilable on the web, so I cannot check which conclusions were taken across the Atlantic). Anyhow, coming back to your presentation at the DELPHI Forum, the people who attended had the impression that Cousins gave the only relevant talk at the workoshop. All other talks were either irrelevant or nuisence. In particular I don't think that transparence 6 gives a correct account of what Prosper and I presented. Anyhow, the people attending your presentation realised that it was so biased that they invited me to give a seminar at the Forum (see http://home.cern.ch/~pubxx/www/delsec/forum/290200/intro.html). So, Fred, thanks a lot for having given me this opportunity. Best wishes, Giulio.
