There=92s an old quote about the US & the UK being =93two nations

unfortunate thread, let me say that I truly regret having expressed
=93astonishment=94 at the use of the term, =93silly prices=94 with
respect to the Europa which struck me as simply odd and perhaps
disrespectful to those who may claim value for their high levels of
craftsmanship and attention to detail. For this erroneous speculation, I
wish to express my profound apologies.
I too=85from afar...welcome you, Bill Dewey, to the Europa
community=85sorry to hear of the loss of your Alpi Pioneer 300=85I trust
you will find a Europa which will match your needs and expectations.
Best,
