Hello pRo,

This sounds very interesting, and I would very much like to read and
give you some feedback.  However, unfortunately someone has chosen to
encode your text in Microsoft Word format.  I could reference an RMS
page (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html), point out
how this email is promoting software which goes against the CC and Free
Software movement (to the detriment of both), or I could buy a copy of
Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (£164.50) and Microsoft Word (£72.99) to be
able to read the document and keep quiet.  However, I think it would be
preferable for me and hopefully others who agree that we should use
modern open file-formats which is not to the detriment of the causes CC
is meant to be working towards.

Could you provide a copy of the text in either :- text, HTML, XHTML or
PDF please (in order of preference) please.

Kind regards
JG
