I know Gorilly, I was as shocked as you when I first read the article.

I'm searching and have asked about a petition or something. Shall I find any resource, I'll come here and tell.

Thanks for noting, by the way.

Agnes! So interesting that you are commenting about that book.
Your comment is totally useful, I had forgotten about it.
Maybe I should look for it and get it.
Thanks.
