Dear List,
(1) I am afraid I am forced to place Darin Zeilweg on receive-only, as his
posts to the list have sofar had (a) little or nothing to do with the
current situation in Iraq, (b) have been chiefly destructive in intent.
(2) can we please not get into any politicised or other discussion of fast
food! the topic for the casi-discuss-list should be Iraqi reconstruction
(in a broad sense)!
thanks a lot
nicholas
