There is some terrible misunderstanding here - unless I am terribly wrong
(which happens often). I am simply saying that when people express them
selves to people from other cultures, misunderstanding can easily rise. I
have seen that often and I have experienced that myself.
I am really glad you are here, I really enjoy your contribution, I don't
find any of your posts or your opinions offending (or any others on the list
for that matter). I enjoy the diversity of the participants here.
Peace
J
