[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#$% This is definitely outrageous! :-( I've been witnessing a lot of such trash happening in Brazil lately, thanks to US imposition. I guess I'll have to come up with some strategies to tackle this just like I did with the initial wave of the foot crap for sizes of waves which NEVER happened over there before (fortunately, this is good news, as I was able to successfully convince quite a few of the Brazilian sites to simply ditch the ft thing! ;-) ).
Last word, it should be 'quarteirco' (with the 'i' between the e and the r, I don't know why this was missing. Perhaps though they may have decided to bastardize our legitimate word quarteirco, which simply means a "block, as of the street block").
