In the vein of 'au-verso' - don't try to keep this list too sanitized. Anyone who lives in a la-la-land 1st world nation and is looking to travel to Roatan & the Honduras in general needs to be brought in touch with all the realities of the environment, not just the 'nice' ones. Same goes with prospective investors who might not 'twig' to another bulletin board's existence.. Same with folks like me who love to visit and just don't do it regularly enough (enough said about those frustrations - i.e. not being able to visit enough). So IMHO, its really important for readers to get a feel for all aspects of life in the islands. ... and BTW this list and its regular contributors / responders do a fantastic job of representing and speaking candidly about all aspects of life there. IMHO - and cheers to all Brian ======== On Mar 21, 2005, at 5:02 PM, Dave Elder wrote: > > I would agree with Linda on this. These discussions are very important > but not in this newsgroup.
