What is so wrong when we are saying that we (the AMSAT-DL members and BOD) want to build and fly another "AMSAT P3-E" rather than a CubeSat? Should we scrap P3-E for the sake of another CubeSat?? Neither does the AMSAT-DL BOD nor does our membership condemn or disapprove CubeSats. In the past years we had CubeSat team from German Universities coming to our Symposium. We have even given advice to some of them or help *if wanted*. We also attended a critical design review of SwissCube, etc.. I was personally at the CubeSat laboratory of the University of Tokyo a couple of years ago to see some of their first CubeSats and discuss some ideas with the Students and their Professor. We have simply decided to concentrate our efforts to what is more important for our community. If you would have listen *carefuly* and not blinded by rage to what I have said during the AMSAT-UK Colloquium, you would not make repeatedly such statements...
