Dear all,
For me personally, connecting and writing to each other has opened a world
which I never thought I'll be able to and I thank all of you for sharing it
with me.
As for insults? Why would we want to do that? We use this as a means of
communication, we react if we want to or, just let it be. No insults
necessary just enjoy and be allowed to agree to disagree.
Hag Sameach,
anny
