More on Oral Cultures

[WB-TrainConsult]

Gilbert and all,

at the moment and for the next time, I have and will have
difficulties to
follow the discussion, although I am looking forward to continue the

Oral/Visual Culture - Open Space

discussion later on. Just for now: thank you for all the experiences
and ideas you shared.

Bernd
