Please Michael,

You are always going on about us going in the opposite direction of
you and all of your intentions or the intentions of BP (don't try to
pin me down on any of those words), but can we for once get something
from you that _is_ to the point.

Because I - and not only I - think that BP is _not_ for self-
inflating purposes.
