Iran, Latin, and others problems

[ricardo]

What a joy to be on taxacom listserver...

I like all this comments and I have found all this stories amusing, I am
very please with Joseph Laferrriere contributions, and have to lough to r=
ead
about poor Americanos who feel offended and who forget that someone can f=
eel
upset about their point of view.

 It is like after I have received paper about the Animal rights and soon
after about the Plant rights, there was nothing to eat...

I like to know what chinese can tell us about publishing description in
chinese and without english or latin translation...

Keep care and be of good cheer.
