  1. Mr. Mat,

    After visiting your site i was very impressed with your work. I believe that you have a great European website. I would like to propose a partnership between our websites. I have a very popular European website and a blog that gets many readers.

    Please take a look

    Link exchange or article exchange promoting each other’s website would be beneficial for both of us. We are also open for other partnership proposals. Please consider our offer.

  2. Jag ogillar anonyma bloggare. Dig kan man inte kritisera för det. Men på ett sätt är du fortfarande anonym.
    Var är ditt CV? – ens i förkortad form?
    Du säger inte vilken politisk uppfattning du har? Varför inte?
    Se gärna hur jag presenterar mig. Det är en modell jag önskar att fler kunde följa. Har du några kommentarer?

      Dear Lars Jönsson,

      You will find my short CV under the headline About me.

      Best regards,

      Mats E

  3. Ja, här kommer den sedvanliga censuren. Detta är något jag i hög grad ogillar
