I am

very flattered you took notice of my previous post. What I like about your analysis is that you are opposing the bankers with INTELLECTUALLY

This is where the letter from the FT you now quote is so appropriate. Some very sophisticated arguments are

being used by bankers at the present time to protect their position, but their arguments must be continually tested by rigorous counter-argument.

The bankers are now going on about Zurich, New York and Singapore, but this is a complete red herring. They would have been moving their
