Of course it is. That's what I meant with "local" events, even though I may have botched the language. > The world is very small. There is no point in weighing who has the bigger > tragedy. We are all affected. That was not my intent, even though it may have looked that way. As I wrote before, I don't usually speak up about these things, and I probably have no right to do so anyway. But now I did, and I get to pay. Again, all I can say is "I'm sorry". And I sincerely hope that these kinds of things can be somehow prevented, or the effect of them at least lessened in some way, in the future. I will not reply to this thread again. But I will continue to read everything on this list (as I've done so far.. everything!) and continue to watch the reports on the aftermath. -- Anders Clerwall vlog: http://randomshow.com/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
