   Hi Nicholas,   
      
   On 2024-11-16 16:00:20, you wrote to me:

   Sure, you don't want to confuse your audience. But you were saying you can   
   only contact points through their boss as a fact without exceptions. And that   
   simply isn't always true. That's why I felt I had to write something.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
