I hope that my email was not removed from the subscriber list. Since I 
switched hosting company for my domain starynkevitch.net my email might 
have some trouble but is now working ok. If it fails, you might contact 
me on bstarynk at nerim dot net also but the basile at starynkevitch dot 
net email is much prefered.
