[sumo] Man in the street-Views on Jungyo and Asa

[Mr BILL]

Charles,

I do not know you and you don't know me.

Being myself an Euro Idiot (Green Day  rocks !...) I  must admit Are 
Akselsen went off-topic first and I appologise for him, being not sure he 
will eventually.

Is it now necessary to continue this way ? I hope no.

I wish you the best.

Eric ARMENTIA
aka Herritaro
