long is not a friend of mine and i am not part of his "fan club". also i dont know him. (this in answer to tl_boy.)
still i support him, and after reading all posts again, even more.
calling what long asked for a blackmail is truely a lame. (on this i agree fully with lux.sh).
also i think what was stated by lumbergh (that eisenmann handled this horribly) is true, too.
