Dear All,
so many exchanges, so many interactive information delivery, so many
relationships through this list!
This is a bit of nostalgy but I am convinced that this list is very
useful for all of us, as an active link between us.
I am very happy to see that FIRPA is going to host the list.
All the Best,
Alain BERNARD
