Saul, I`m not in any way trying to get at you, and I assume you know me better than that, so please bro dont get paranoid. I`ll however still hold my stand as to the fact these sentiments that are being surfaced right now wont get us no where, and I`m sure you`ll agree with me on that. And I dont expect that you`re the type who doesn`t feel good as to who he is or what his origins are, and if you are Saul why are you taking this stance of yours? Personally I dont feel you`re right here, but again this is a matter of opinion. By the way greetings from Oslo, and good night!
