I can understand ecological concerns moving to the forefront of an over-developed country, but a lot of Spain remains agrarian and, well, empty. And, further, the techniques that exist today are far more ecological than the techniques that existed in the 1970s and 1980s. _____ -=: Kaelon :=- --- þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net .
