Not at all, it's fine Igor.  I didn't mean to imply you didn't say
something earlier.  It might have been missed by others, just as I
missed it.  Sorry I didn't see your earlier suggestion! :-)

That makes sense to me.  As I told people elsewhere, tablecloths are
not expensive and we can buy a few more of them for distribution and
use around LATAM.  It doesn't make sense to spend (for example) US $50
each time we have to ship one cloth across the continent, if we can
spend, say, US $200 on a couple cloths that can be shipped around in
smaller areas for cheaper.
