Tell you what. You are the man with the technical and - as the excutive 
director - administrative powers. Why not provide DATA that it does not 
affect TFN? You know DATA? No not that Star Treck figure ;-)

To start with, when we shall see the last year financial statement. I 
hope it will not include lies like the one you made at the AGM. Who cares 
any way??
