Turq, you may not be concerned. You live in France not much influenced by the TMorg anymore, we live here in FF where our lives very much are. You do seem interested as you do continue on FFL. Inside that interest are likely some concerns (?) about things FF, MMY, TM and the TMorg. Yet, FF and the TMorg being remote from your life now, you need not concern yourself, unless you're stuck or would like to get involved. With Kind Regards, -Doug in FF
