[Jose Reynaldo A. Setti]

Robin Fairbairns, obrigado pela sua mensagem de 22:23 10/8/2003 +0100:

I also appreciate your advice and kind offer to help.

I would like to make it clear to Tom Kacvinsky and Murray
Eisenberg that I really appreciated their prompt replies
to my query and their valuable advice.

I would also like to commend you and all the other volunteers
that are helping Y&Y to keep up with their excellent work.

I apologize to you three and anybody else that I might have
offended when replying to the messages that were posted
after my initial e-mail. I had no intention to dismiss
any advice nor imply that it was wrong or not welcome.

--jrs.
