Subject: AZTLAN ALERT!
Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 18:03:54 +0200
Got your attention? Well, guys... just a fact checking this morning. On
page 123, right column, 4th paragraph (Aztlan sb, of course), there is a
small blurb about my town (Trieste) being invaded by Padua-Venice and Fuchi
and Saeder-Krupp closing down the event very soon.

My question is: given that I'm not a natural english speaker, is there
something hidden in the text that I don't understood or what?

Seems very unlikely that Trieste will be invaded by wimpy Paduans :)

BWAHAHAHA!!! I didn't know Paduans were all THAT whimpy. Seriously
though, I read it as Padua-Venice-Fuchi moving in on your little town,
for business purposes, which would severely cramp Saeder-Krupp's style
[not to mention wallet]. Hence, their quick closing down of the event.
I'll be more certain once I reread the relevant passage. Anybody else?

I'll look this up in my brand-new copy of the Aztlan SB that I just bought
a few hours ago :)

Not sure... From the text it seems like Padua-Venice attacked Trieste, and
the megacorps told them to stop it, nothing more. The rest of the
post refers to Aztlan, I think.
