Claudio, I only posted the article Vinashin affiliate to outfit Czech cruise ships as it was, without any editing or correcting terminology. I read another two articles on the same story. I didn’t believe the sum of $200,000 was correct, so I posted the article I thought had the most credence even though it mentioned sea instead of river.
I leave most of my postings to your opinions, just like PamM and anthemius did. If there are corrections, so be it, I am cool with that.
