We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Author: Lucia ... a history buff?
Subject: I donīt know. That wealth has yet to reach the Brazilian people ... BTW, well, sorta... I was watching the History channel the other day and found out that in the late 20's Henry Ford built a rubber industry in the middle of the Amazon, along with a town for the American employees. Itīs still there, abandoned and in ruins. So surreal! It was like suburbia in the middle of the jungle!
In reply to: Acer ........ who was reading news about Brazil this morning. WOW! Brazil is doing great economically these days!! :) 's message, " Thanks! Lucia :)! I have not gone yet.... My trip will be in Aug. I have been traveling a lot though -- within the country." on 20:54:24 05/13/08 Tue
