Is this of any relevance to the butchering of the Portuguese Geological 
Survey?! Guess not, but had to go through it all to realise its 
irrelevance for the subject (and to anybody else but Ionnas ?Naden and 
Yannis), especially that it starts with mentioning the Brussels 
bureaucrats. It also shows that Stephanos has quite a busy summer, but 
who doesn't?

Maybe we could improve our control over the "reply" button, what daya 
think?!
