[edit] AboutUs

Hello, thanks for updating your InstaPLANET page at AboutUs. I was happy to see your other interests, because I am keen on organizing Peace websites at AbouUs. Category:Peace - would that be something you would be interested in helping me organize? -- Best, MarkDilley

Mark, I am engaged in writing another book. My online activity is sporadic at best. However, I will keep it in mind. Thanks for all your good work. -- CulturalUniverse
