Hi,
I was in a kind of bad manner with my previous post (crying kids), Actually
what i meant is to save consumables as much as we can for the sake of humanity.
I was not blaming the people who have CableTV in their homes. Sorry if
anyone misunderstood my post. (This is not my native language, though..)
Thanks to W.J. La Cholter for clarifications..
