DIVA didn't do that, they just wanted to make things easier as i

Thank you Richard for being understanding with all of this, i know it
is hard for you to understand some things because you weren't in BL,
so everything you know is what we tell you. I probably am not
explaining stuff in detail assuming people on the list know what i am
talking about, which is a mistake from my side. I will try to be more
precise from now on!
