I'm sorry, Giancarlo, but I don't understand what your point is here. If you're still talking about sensationalizing spinach, fine, whatever. If you're talking about missing girls, then I'm not sure we even disagree.


You are the one who chose to take up the issue with me. I almost want to ask why you even started arguing with me. The Aruba case was turned into a media circus. If I were the parents I would be quite angry because it interferes with the investigation.

But again, what are we talking about? If it's spinach, then fine, maybe I did start the argument, in which case I'm hereby officially backing out. If it's Natalee's disappearance, again, I don't think we disagree, do we?!

Actually I think we do. I think the Natalee Hollyway case did become a media circus, and the investigation was possibly damaged by the media.

Then we don't. I was criticizing the media's coverage of that story. My criticism focused on different objections, but I don't dispute yours.

Its like the Austrian girl Natascha Kampusch who was kidnapped and kept by her captor for about 8 years. when she escaped about 5 weeks ago it was HUGE story and now I don't even know whats happened to her. Media drops storys like hot potatoes when its not the big news anymore.
