Actually, she was Protestant technically, but she really didn't seem to care either way...I mean, I got along rather well with her and vice versa, and I'm Catholic... As I've maintained for quite a while, on the individual level, this political crap is all irrelevant, it's only when you take the ethnic communities as a whole. It's like one of my friends in Belgrade said, "I hate Albanians - as a whole - but I have some Albanian friends". =\ Cheers, Ferko
