   Somehow, I doubt it (but then again :-).  Please share it (exact quotations  
   please, no interpretations) with us!  If it really says that, I suggest we  
   don't adopt it.  That again seems appropriate for discussion by the readers  
   (and not by individual fiat).

Let me get this right.  You want Pascal to go dig up the information that is
part of every news feed (i.e. you have access to it), but you want him to
provide the exact text since you suspect he would be decietful and modify it
to serve his own intentions.  But it doesn't matter, because if he is right,
you don't want to live by those rules anyway.  Tell me, does this approach to
negotiations often work for you?

   Please share them (exact quotations please, no interpretations) with us!   
   Again, if they really say that, perhaps we shouldn't adopt them!

Translation: I think your wrong, you will lie to support your case, and it
doesn't matter because if you are right it still won't change my mind.

Sheesh...
