Online Manual

Sat Mar 13 22:49:25 PST 2010

Dear all around the planet,

another wonderful place to have these exchanges is the WOSONOS coming up in
Berlin. As of this morning 111 participants are registered :)
In Germany we call numbers like these "Schnapszahl" meaning booze numbers or
drunken numbers and sometimes they do encourage people to drink a little
when celebrating.
ps. to register for WOSONOS go to www.boscop.org

All the best wishes from our boscop retreat just outside Berlin in a
wonderful cosy artists B&B - worth a visit for those who want to explore the
countryside when coming
