Hi Manolo,

I would like to give you one advise I am 100% sure it is a good one: for the sake of research, do NEVER, EVER accept an opinion as a fact if you feel you can discover something more. Research is indeed the fun part of collecting. Believe me, I would be more than happy if you come back to me in a few months saying: Hey Jean, I found evidences you were wrong, look at this...Sure, I would be happy to learn something new. I gave my personal opinion supported by observations but it is certainly not gospel.

All the best and....happy research!
Jean

Peu importe la destination si le voyage est plaisant.
