Mmm, yes, it's true, when you receive a lot of messages and you have to 
read
all of them because thy can contein something different from the titlem 
it's
hard. I'm new to the concept of newsletter, thi is my second one. The 
onther
was about gentle giant, one of my favourite progressive rock goups, maybe 
my
favourite after soft machine (only because i love a lot robert wyatt). 
Well,
on my side i will do my best to follow the title and to write another email
if i want to say something different. As i did not till now...
Ciao
