Ah, so you are the ones trying to police the cardamine flow... Well, that'd be just another "police force" I have to deal with, I assume. Let me tell you something: If you're as effective as those Liberty clowns or those court jesters in Bretonia... chances are that we'll never meet each other.
Don't get this wrong, I'm not excluding any potential cooperation with you in the future... I'm saying that you'll have to convince me that it would be worthwhile for me.
Until then, "good luck".

But the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered--
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before--
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
<blockquote>Then the bird said, "Nevermore."</blockquote>
