Sue,

I really enjoy hearing what other people think about the fast changing world
around us. I hear so often on the news what the rest of the world feels, it's
kind of nice to hear the differing opinions of my neighbors.

To be quite frank, if they weren't writing, I think this vision2020 would be
empty. You are the first person in a while who has written anything about Moscow
in the future. It is a refreshing change *smile*
