"we work more and more with the community that spreads the word "

absolutely!
and the great thing is,
people do listen!
the members grow by the minute which translates to more users
also by looking the quality of people commenting at my blogs,
I am confident they spread the word as I do on a daily basis!

very enjoyable videos
Happy 15th Jon!

PS

Jon glows when he talks about Opera the way I do when I talk
about my kids! I always knew we had things in common

Thanks a lot, maybe Opera might put it on Chooseopera like last time as it certainly is better than my other one.
