Senor Stan, !Caramba! hombre--que milagro--su espanol no es muy mal. Yo espero que los miembres de la lista van a tener bastante respete para ti y sus talentas estupendas. ?En donde aprendes? Bueno, viajes mucho en America Latina? Conoces algo de Mexico? Dime el razon que tu hablas como un maestro. Tengo mucho curiosidad. Es que normalmente los gringos no hablan mucho y es una gran sorpresa a leer algo aqui en espanol. Hay unos pocos miembres de esta lista que tienen naturalmente la lengua espanola. Que lastima que ellos no conversan en la lista a dar opportunidades a los gringos a practicar! Ciao pues, Phaedra
