Re: [strawbale] Proposal for introduction

["chug" <chug@ntlworld...>]

Greetings strawbalers,  I support the idea of a network of European linked
sites rather than one main site, as Andre and Herbert say it saves the
trouble of translating text, then anyone should be able to find a language
they are happy with, as we already have some really good sites within the
european strawbale community, they just need to be linked. I don't know how
easy this would be!

                             Regards Chris Tugby(Chug).
