Oh. it was about someone (the former admin) and the private/secret hand  
over.

I'm sorry, "results" was brought into the thread by you. I leave it there.

But now that you write that I checked the emails sent by/exchanged with

found that you wheren't cc'ed (but the other mentors where). It looks like  
none of you co-mentors where cc'ed.
