					<description>Dear George,
I wish you very much luck in bringing attention to the problems of the Aral Sea!  That is a project well worth tackling.  Thank you for all your kind words.

					<description>Thank you for your extensive and very helpful research on this very important topic. I am setting up my own blog, which will chronicle the rescue efforts in the North Aral Sea and discuss possible ways to save the South Aral. I have linked to your blog and encouraged others to take a look at it. Again, thank you for your informative website!</description>
