I thank Fabio for initiating the call for discussion. Since it seems that the gratitude is optional, I just want to thank Denis for having given us in the past 5 months a forum of discussions (even if reduced by the trial status). It's not his fault if the trial system doesn't work, and in any case without tsci we won't be here talking about sci since in many years none made a call for discussion to create an Italian group. Finally a personal opinion: I think that any group should pass through a trial period of maybe less than 5 months. In this way it would be easier to understand what are the real important groups and what are the groups that in a few months will become "bogus" ---Rosario
