Dear Luis,
I always find weird and sort of funny when someone cannot accept that some
people could call themselves troglodites meaning that they are not very

Dear all,
Although not an active player on this list, except maybe in my early

Dear Alan,
There are plenty of people who call usage of so-called social networks
