Patrick- Please allow me to apologise for my comment about 'selling Nokia stock' in my recent message to you. This was intended to be understood as an (admittedly barbed) joke, but I should know better than to rely on email to carry facial expressions. In fact I certainly wouldn't think of selling any Nokia stock in the present financial climate I suspect that there are cross-cultural differences between our working environments. Living as I do in the hinterlands of academia, I take umbrage at being accused of being naive; on the other hand, humorous references to the vagaries of the stock market have more the flavor of schadenfreude than the frisson of genuine danger. I suspect that both these positions are reversed for you, which may have given the impression that my response was both much more strongly worded than I intended it to be, and more unprovoked than I felt it to be. But in any case, I apologise again for giving offense, and reiterate that I have the highest regard for Nokia, and wish only that I could afford more of their excellent products.
