1) the journalist may be good, but his english was far from
fluent, there was some confusion at times during the
interview

2) the interview was done quite informally on IRC, with me
replying in normal IRC style ... it appears however
that the sentence fragments were just cut'n'pasted
together into something gramatically dubious, this has
messed up the contents in some places ;)

3) I guess this whole stuff was converted to gramatically
correct Italian, possibly meaning something slightly
different from the text in (2), definately something
else than what I wanted to say.

I guess this is the last time I'm giving an interview to a
journalist who isn't fluent in any of the languages I'm
fluent in ;)

cheers,

Rik
