Re: [Cz-L] Re: I don't agree & Bruce's last...

Dear Jerome,
some words to say you how you are patient after this tempest!
I write to Bruce this afternoon to say the same.
I hope that you are not too upset by these mails.
You made such a wonderful work since so many years!

Now it's time to return to our topics...
Yours
Sylvie
