Hello Married With Children,

I don't want to answer to your questions because you call it last on
your private mail to me.  I did not opposed those VK trips.  Did I
say "all VK" in my posting?  Because you don't want to discuss the
topic anymore then why should I answer your questions.  

Deeply regards,

Tri' DDo^~
