RE: EU is a disaster!
Hello, all.
My fault. A newspaper here in Buenos Aires published a small note of mine
that mentioned the "Find Duplicate Files" program, and also encouraged
contacting the EU site.
Apparently, this person did so, and was "not satisfied" with it.
I hope some other people from Argentina will be attracted to the language
and make useful contributions.
Sorry for the "mala sangre" (distress) this episode had occasioned, if any.
Regards.
