Ro: De la actualizarea anterioară aproape s-a dublat numărul de voturi. Îmi retrag cuvintele de dezamăgire.

Mulțumesc România!

[Update]
Ro: Îmi pare rău dacă articolul nu s-a ridicat la nivelul așteptărilor voastre. Spun ăsta pentru că am obținut un număr de voturi destul de mic comparat cu cel din articolul de introducere. Pot pune ăsta ori pe seama faptului că deja am publicat un articol la subiect sau pe faptul că e weekend. Oricum trebuia să mă strădui mai mult.
Seară plăcută!
