I sent your review to Andrea and he was absolutely thrilled that you liked
it so much.  This is what he said:

"I had to read it some times before understanding all the sentences.
I received about 50 emails from the first release of Basement saying very
good words about that mission.
But this time I got touched.
I never thought that Thief could give me so many and great satisfactions. I
hope to do my best with the fortress..."

Keep up the good work, Max.  These reviews are terrific!
