Hey Dri,

you don't need to step back. there are no reasons for that.
I think some people are seriously concerned about how an imc in Nepal would 
function. 
I also agree that we shouldn't ask such things on a first letter. 

I think their answers are quite clear. They're mostly a bunch of 
intellectuals & there are no Maoïsts involved. This can be a problem & we 
need to find out how they'll get imc news from maoïst area's. They're after 
all a quite big anticapitalist resistance group, it would be a shame if there 
isn't news from them.
