Nick you have sent the message various times.
There are many responses.
With the enormous number of messages that "attack"
the moderator it is obvious that it control everything!
Difficult task indeed.
Keep in mind that this forum (good or bad? You can see a glass with
water up to the middle, half empty or half fuel; but
see the number of spams that appeared in another forums
and you will see that it is good) is MODERATED.
The messages do not appear immediately like other forums.
They will need some time (ussually a day). So
do not send a message more than one time!
With best regards
and hope that I didn't
sound elitistic
Dimitris
