Hi Ed,

thank you for your gentlemanly reply.  You needn't have said that the winning
team is always right, because I was not asking for that kind of satisfaction.
Not only do I think that boasting is ugly, but also that the tournament is not
over yet...

The subject of beer is interesting.  By the way, I had a couple of Grolsh in my
life:  I remember one particularly well, back in the past sometime, while in
Amsterdam with my Dutch girlfriend... Or was it two Grolsh :-) It was in one of
the cheap hotels, if I recall correctly, something like the Fleissig... (Sounds
too German?  I hope that the hotel was called the Fleissig).

Once again, I have to say that I had not even had the slightest idea how
dangerous Jeroen's books were till the moment I really had to face them.  I was
lucky - probably beginner's luck.

Thank you both.

Djordje
