Thu Oct 28 23:06:18 CEST 2010

Dear Marilyn, dear Thomas,

thanks for your interest in the ideas and formulations of david de ugarte
and lasindias.net,

I met them 2 days ago and am very enthused to see this new phyle in action
...

David's community conducts its activities and dialogue in Spanish, but
perhaps he can be included in a conversation that we undertake via our p2p
list?

David, thanks for letting us know your thoughts on this,

in the meantime, at least for thomas, I can explain a lot of new info in
Berlin,

Marylin, we could skype after nov 15 as well,

Michel
