To all,
My apologies are in order. The poster on Great Crowd who said "here in Brazil everyone is thrilled... with the news..." (regarding the WTC) informed me via email that her command of the English language isn't the greatest. She used the word "thrilled" instead of "stunned".
I replied to her email and suggested she should edit her post to that end. If she does, I will edit mine too...
