love thy neighbour :) Hi Marianne, yes that talk's to me :) I am not sure if this can be done by asking me to make a vidéo for you - can one compare your request to asking thy neighbour for some sugar or flower when you run out of these just before you want to prepare a cake?
I think I have diffculties to generously say "yes" to your proposition, request because you never manifested yourself on this list before - in a certain way you are still a stranger for me, not yet part of the neighbourhood - I fond myself a bit rude by saying this... I wonder how others react to your request and what my reaction tells about what netbehaviour is to me?
