  Is this just those @large members in France or for the whole EU?
If the former, than fine, if the latter, than there are some gross

past time to get this out to all of the rest of you.

  "Coordinating without interfering with the coordination?"  Isn't this
a bit of and oxymoron here Jefsey?

  Not really Jefsey.  It seems to be mostly a creation of confusion.
But you French are that way.  Se la vi, I suppose...  :(
