Dear KTG: can I please ask why my 2 last reactions weren’t published. As always (I think), I was polite and respectful for other people’s ideas, so I don’t understand it.
It concerned a reply to Philip under the item PM Mitsotakis sees extension … and a reply to Mika under the item ‘Greek Doctors protest ‘suffocating’ ….’. Especially my reaction to this last item is a bit unfortnate, as Mika asked a question and nobody answered (while I did).
As I always have to leave my email address here, you can also let me know by email why my reactions weren’t published.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Marc
