The story

The story starts last summer ('99) with the review talk of Marina Artuso in Tampere. The talk is completely biased towards CLEO results, anything else is treated quickly and superficially.

Not yet happy with that, she does worse in her write-up (1), where some LEP (and SLD) results are explicitely treated as unreliable.

This causes the reaction of Patrick Roudeau (convener of the HF steering group), who circulates inside the group a rather emotional proposal of mail (2).

After several iterations inside the group, a quite different mail is sent (3), much longer and detailed (and purged of too "informal" words...).

Marina's reply comes in three "chapters" (4) (5) (6), between Nov 28^th and Dec 20^th.

Before we reply to the reply, a mail comes from Sheldon Stone, whose tone is, to say the least, surprising (7).

Patrick sends a personal reply to Professor Stone (8).

.... and more will come!
