I need some time to find it, anyway, two months ago I've posted an RFC
on the whole diplomacy affair.

There has been few comment and little controversial point.

So, if you are really interested in this matter, I suggest to turn back
that RFC and start again the discussion.

If you are not able to find it, give me one day or two, and I'll find
it.
