I thank you warmly and as a Buddhist wish you (all) Happy Tibetan New
Year.[1]

The speech is of very loving-kindness nature and is spreading
characteristic velvet and silky atmosphere we all need (at least once in
a year).

I hope that Miss GnuGP Universe contest will be established at some time
also, because it is very good idea.

Ten US dollars sound good too, so I will be willing to donate as well,
in this or other way, to FSF, as soon as Mr Richard Stallman stops his
support for legalization of ga...marijuana and/or any "soft drugs", or
at least removes this from his web site.

I wish also to GnuPG to remain good, free (as in "freedom"), independent
and nonrestricted software as long as possible, and to its related
team(s) a good, reliable, stable, vital and quality organizational
(cap)abilities.

[1] I also wish Happy International, Serbian, Chinese and Japanese New
Year and Merry Orthodox Christmas, since I am coming from this cultural
and spiritual milieu too.
