RE: EU is a disaster!
Well, I don't know. I am assuming he is from Argentina because his e-mail
ends in .ar, and this happened just after my note appeared in the newspaper.
But I have the slightest idea of whom he is. Several people contacted me
after that, because my e-mail was included in the note, and it might even be
that he was one of them.
Regards.
