Well, most of the new messages we got this month got posted on the RMRA Forum, so be sure to check it out. Still, we'd like to mention a few emails, such as:

- "bestiala...din pacate!" (referring to the special homage issue of the Mint Rubbing Journal)
- "Stimati domni! Am surfat cu interes pe pagina dvs."Mintrubbing.org" si m-am amuzat foarte bine. poate ar trebui insa un avertisment pentru strainii care nu ne cunosc si ar putea intelege gresit multe din cele scrise. Mult succes, Mihai"
- "I'm writing in regards to the latest featured Romanian Ancient Wisdom - "Keep of six". Regretfully, I have to inform you that there is an equally old American slang that goes "to watch your six" = "to be careful about smth.". The origin most probably comes from WWII and the discovery of the radar, where North, South, East and West are in fact 12,6,3 and 9 o'clock respectively. "Watch your six" means therefore "look south (behind you)" and I can safely assume that it has the same root in Romanian language.
Phew! Another major work crisis averted by rubbing mint for 5 delightful minutes. Keep it up guys! (Mihai)"
- "cand nu mai poti de bine,freci menta,...cand i mai rau...o freci si mai tare!de-ar fi dupa mine(pacat ca nu e),as face mintrubbin'ul sport olimpic...pentru toti rubber-ii din lume! numai bine va doresc si la cat mai multa menta rubb-enita!!! (dan)"
- "Salut, sunteti super, absolut geniali"
