I dont' agree at all and like me all the magazines I have don't agree

Pity: there are many other things happening in the world, you know. I
think you should widen your horizons. Try having a look in my ite for a

sites dedicated to the Spectrum. English is not the most widely used
language in the world either (Mandarin is). It might not be connected
but it IS relevant to the point.
