Re:	:Acknowledgement

This is to acknowledge your explanation and to show my respect and 
support for your effort in unifying all Burmese democratic organizations. 
I, for one, offer my hand and service to this unifying process. If and 
when the process develops in a transparent manner, as we all witness in 
your posting, the other complications will all be dissolved naturally 
by the very nature of democracy practices! 

With metta and solidarity,
NiNi
