[Marc Biesmans <mbe@glo.be>]

Hi,

Hereafter you see clearly that some people are much more interested in
defending
errors made by their friends than restricting themselves to astronomical
facts/data.

I deeply regret that still nobody knows the real, actual state of SV Sge.
And that is what I want to see instead of reactions of people who cover up
their
errors.

Rgds,
Marc
