V3 -[New-imc] CANCUN - internal new-imc DEADLINE 13:00 GMT Wednesday 13 Aug 2003

[CMI]

Hi, blicero, hey don't put us all in the same box here. there was no 
concensus in that chat.
and we didn't want the sun moon and stars like you say. I think you and 
others got heated in that discussion and there was no discussion or 
desicions at all.
like i said.

lets make cancun.indymedia.org a splash page...

later, lets talk about themes and syndication.

cool?


and like i said, i appreciated your presence and your time, cabrón!!!  ;-)

kino.
