Good that's two of us !

Hmm let's see some facts about Burundi.

Industries: light consumer goods such as blankets, shoes,...Hey now this place
looks pretty promising.

The annual per capita income is $120,.......yikes !

Internet Service Providers (ISPs): NA......Hmmm no game coverage?

More than 200,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the war broke
out in October 1993........it's not looking good.

Intense fighting is taking place around the capital Bujumbura, between the
Tutsi-dominated army and the ethnic Hutu rebels of the National Liberation
Forces (FNL)......Hope this wasn't the place you had in mind??.....oh is there
a beach?!!

Fighting has also erupted in the central Gitega and Mwaro provinces between the
other major Hutu rebel group, the Forces for the Defence of Democracy (FDD). An
estimated 15,000 refugees have fled fighting in this region.......Transportation
could also be an issue......but if there is a beach, I could walk to it in my
new shoes !.

Burundi sounds to me like I'll have to pass Frank, I'm not too sure you
could even get a Pizza. What about Mexico?


>See mean reader letter loose Sarah.


God that's a mouthful? must be that Pizza?.


>I am not very happy with this event.


Really? do you think you could tell us all why again?
Just in case anyone missed it.

Alas Frank I fear just a tad late. Besides we do have two interesting new
events. We have the candidates match, followed by the winner playing Kramnik!.


>Now we all must read
>THE BEST COMPUTER CHESS PROGRAMS Junior and Fritz ...


Of course the article was rubbish, but are you going to send letters
to every newspaper in the world that publish an article containing bogus
information?. If so you better get on with it. Ohh will we also get a
post for each one or do you think we could come up with a standard form
letter?.

Sarah.
