Wow! SignWriting being discussed in Prague! It sounds so romantic. I  
always think of Prague as a center for art and ballet! And I keep  
thinking of the bookstore in Warsaw with computers too! Are you still  
writing from the bookstore, Lucyna?

I am so amazed and happy about all this...I am glad that SignWriting  
is useful to you in Poland and the Czech Republic...

And you should feel very good about the hard work you have already  
done...your SignPuddles are building, so there is much we can talk  
about!

Maybe sending email to your friends in SignWriting will spread the  
idea faster...I hope to do the same here in the US with my friends  
now...it will be interesting to see how they react! Most Americans  
don't know this even exists...
