[pp.int.general] Report

[Anouk Neeteson]

Thanks Lola for your input and your honesty. As always it takes (at least)
two to tango and it is a pity that you were in a dance that didn't turn out
to be as was expected.
Don't give up the dream and we all will continue life, being wiser then
ever before and we *will* arrive at the point when *common sense* will
be *commonly
used* (once we learn to listen to our conscience most of the time,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscience#World_conscience).

Keep hoping, pirately,
mrNatural
