That's really nice. I wouldn't have expected that much of a change :)

I agree with that, particulary that i shouldn't have blamed Gabucino
that much. But i still believe that in most case it's sufficent
to just ask them to leave. If they don't kick them, that's normal.

Again i agree. And again that doesn't mean that you have to slam the door
on ppls nose. Anyway things are changing it seems :)
