If you want a dialogue, don’t insist on always having the last word.” (Dom Helder Camara) There’s nothing better than to be able to sit down with someone and have a good conversation. If there’s a last word to be spoken after that, it’s probably, “Thanks!” Have you had such an experience recently? ;-) Jack
