Since you are quoting someone, and are earnest in keeping a safe distance from the ostentatiously conceited statement, which you properly relegated between (albeit elusive) quotation marks, may we ask who are you quoting, or where was this statement originally published? In all fairness, Kudos, your syntax merges your introduction with the quoted statement(s). As such, you must admit, it is susceptible of the misinterpretation most of us took from your post. Although this is your thread, and you may do as you wish, it is a good school of thought to apologize when your poorly articulated statement leads to undesirable conclusions. It has happened to me, and not just once, and I always offered an apology, because if I state matters incorrectly, it is my fault the readers misinterpret them. Finally, I am not sure whether you can speak and read Spanish. But if you do, it surprises me that, while posting this breaking news, you would not -as I did- help the readers appreciate the significance of the document (and I only have a rudimentary working knowledge of the language). One final point, my instinctive reaction to your post was (and I am sure I speak for many here) that it was meant to chill ForoFlamenco's members' commentary regarding Ruben Diaz and his guitars. However, even without knowing the claims underlying the settlement the Parties reached here, I can easily infer that this dispute concerned the commercial exploitation of the name "Paco De Lucia" to endorse guitars made by two discrete makers, and not "disinterested" opinions published on a blog (as those the members post here). The nature of the statement (commercial denigration v. individual opinion) carries a lot of weight. Hence, the final question. Since you indicate that the reported statements were written or uttered by an acquaintance of yours, would you be so kind to acquire and share more details so that we may frame the "victory" into the proper context? Thank you.
