David, Thank you, I just wish I could go to such a key event. Which country are you in? Thailand? I seem to remember writing to you a couple of years ago. How have you been keeping? I've had a couple of major PC crashes/virus attacks and basically lost all my old Outlook Express mail. I now use Web based mail services; it's safer and I don't have to worry about back ups. good to hear from you. best regards, Marco > On 9 Nov, 2005, at 06:10, Automatic digest processor (Marco)wrote: > >> I think we should put in place a plan, with key objectives, and >> include as > many countries as possible.
