  Beste mensen,

Ik heb er al eens eerder over gemaild:de Engelstalige berichten op de 
vredeslijst zijn voor mij niet zomaar makkelijk te lezen. Dan haak ik af 
en dat is natuurlijk jammer!
Ik begrijp wel dat jullie het w.s. ook druk yhebben, maar is het  niet 
mogelijk om deze berichten in het Ned. te vertalen? Bovendien krijg ik 
al zoveel mail binnen in het Engels.

Vredesgroet, Ali Jansen
