Thanks for your mail, Chris. I understand your concern - you know from
previous
mails that I consider your experience very important and (with your permission)
I have redistributed one of your mails to a portuguese network. Indeed, your
concern is very similar to my own - only having different experiences in
mind...
I hope that after Vancover/Vitoria time will came to go south...

When people follows their passions and take responsability, this is a very
good beginning ;-)

Thanks for the wishes. I am sure that myself or other representatives from
Europe (maybe from Africa too) will join.
