Now up to 4 of us who want to order the poster mentioned below. So it is definite that I will do another group order. Keep the requests coming to me, offlist, over the next week. Once I see the total demand I can figure a more accurate price and will also let you each know then how to get payment to me.
After the 30th of this month I'll contact Dario and we'll go on from there. By the way, I'll be in Ottawa CA the week of 21 October, it is vaguely possible I could also serve as courier to Canada . . . For additional details see fully quoted message below.
