So it is. But as the conference ended and Patrick had been exhausted 
(had been obvious) and it had been said on several occasions that a 
delay between taking the minutes and copying them into the pad - some 
time should be given. The Main results (like who had been elected is 
stated out in this temporary version.

Well done your research. Dichter put em there. Checked most of it 
beforehand. Flew back yesterday afternoon (CEST) and attended a town 
council meeting just afterwards. After daywork he did the job. As you 
are with facts, just do some calculations :)

In a paid job doing this kind of things I am with you (most of the time, 
though I now some minutes are not easy to finish - I now that by 
experience even in a paid job)

You should ask the German board. The minutes are taken down by a guy who 
writes down simultaniously. But the offical minutes do take a while 
longer. Including crosschecking etc.

Well done. Constructivness lost again. I thought you are with fact?

I think your prejudices are taking over atm. Though I do love these 
weird interpretations. Like somebody else said "never trust a gaul from 
Germany". Think you do so. (funfact: the guy who said so did trust me as 
he smiled broadly)
