Gottfried,

<<Demosthenes, unfortunately even Rubin does not understand that.
He said. " We need to continue ... to work around the world to promote
growth.">>

Unfortunately it is, in my opinion, presumptuous to state what Mr. Rubin does and does not understand in this case without hearing him comment directly on the concerns of Ms. Jones.

Even though Ms. Jones and I have concerns about the pace of the Asian
recovery, that doesn't mean that we, as you imply by responding with the above quote from Rubin, don't want to "work around the world to promote growth."

Rubin is generalizing whereas Ms. Jones is specifically talking about the particular speed of recovery in a particular region. To have missed this implies, in my opinion, that you just weren't thinking when you made the comparison.

If you still think your comments are reasonable, please start again, but do not thou give us partial quotes out of context from someone you do not know who was not addressing the specific issue you are concerned about.

Ever, D
