Also, I'm sorry but there is no me writing once again a document 
about what alternative are possible. Spending hours to write 
documents so that one is answered something along the line of "we 
are happy with the other thing, but we can't give any reason why" 
is something I've engaged in several time in already, and has no 
desire to indulge into this if I have reason to think the same 
will happen. Your answer here are telling me one thing: it won't 
be taken seriously.
