Maybe you took it as it was something personal or bad, but the thing is tha=
t I=20
happen to Live in Argentina, Buenos Aires, Cap. Fed. ... the very same plac=
e=20
the BSDday is supposed to take place .. and maybe .. if they have the right=
=20
answers to those questions, I could pitch in ... a lot btw ... and get othe=
rs=20
to pitch in too ...

Now, I know that they still have two months to the event, but I also know t=
hat=20
my job doesn't allow me to have real spare time (let alone the wife and the=
=20
kids...). I may be of help, today, tomorrow, the next week, who knows? .. B=
ut=20
I _do_ know, that I can't compromise my word without at least a 3 weeks in=
=20
advanced window ..=20

So ... the fact that the event is still two months away is a plus for me ..=
=20
that was why I went in "hard" on them ...

Sorry if I was misunderstood.
