					<description><![CDATA[After reading the above comments and seeing everyone (except Daphne) get their knickers in a twist over this email, it reminds me of that allegedly fake Jersey Bank statement of Dalli&#039;s that got everyone similarly confused. 

I believe there is no conspiracy theory with either the email or the bank statement. Focusing on the things themselves, the obvious is the reality. It&#039;s as simple as that.]]></description>

This guy (Joseph Ellul Grech) is Dalli Watch, his writings show that he was right all along the way.

					<description><![CDATA[What is holding Gonzi back from suspending Dalli from the PN pending clarification of this mess?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - The mess doesn&#039;t really have to be clarified. He has embarrassed Malta and the European Commission and that&#039;s more than enough to be going on.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

I think it&#039;s very clear from the subject line: &quot; re: proposal&quot; that the original e-mail to the now sender was entitled &quot;proposal&quot; or that a proposal was made earlier.  Otherwise the subject would simply be &quot;proposal&quot;. Not so?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sick of Dalli. The poor man is always getting embroiled in some scandal or other. Did he really think that while in Brussels he could still carry on with his underhanded dealings?

And does he really think that he can fool us by reproducing an email which smells strongly of past correspondence in the age of IT? The majority of EU citizens have sent and received emails. A good percentage of them work with emails every day.

Of course &quot;nobody does anything for free&quot;. A workman has to be paid, however he gets paid by the person who asks for his services. That&#039;s called &#039;being employed&#039;.

It is completely out of line to ask for money to arrange a meeting with the commissioner to change a legislation that he&#039;s working upon. Again, lobbying is accepted, bribing is not.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Re argument is valid, and it&#039;s definitely a reply, but you have no way of knowing if it was the immediate reply to the initial email or there were previous emails before. 

If the first email was by these guys, the 2nd reply was by Silvio, and this might be the third reply.

So, this might be still innocent - though, if he was clearly above water, a simple printout of the conversation would clear everything once and for all.
