 MV> Hardly specific.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, lower right corner, he has a pi
symbol, click on it.

Its no crack you dumb ass.

How so.

Hardly, the info is all accessible on the pages..

You do know what happens when a mouse pointer passes over a link within a

 MV> subpage. Better stay away from the Netherlands for a while...

I have no intention of visiting any third world under-developed countries.

 MV> It his his system, he is responsible for the legality of its contents.
