2007-02-25 Thread Konstantinos Margaritis
Two simple questions: a) Is there anything you regret doing in the past year (as DPL of course)? b) are there things you didn't have time to do in the first year but would like to do if you would get elected again? Regards Konstantinos pgpM0z1cXzTXy.pgp Description: PGP signature
