- It is futile to keep this newsgroup alive when most foreigners have
- become taciturn in the company of Finns. Foreigners have nothing much
- to say about anything. Perhaps foreigners are not interested in other
- foreigners and neither are Finns interested in foreigners very much.
- I guess most foreigners must be reading their respective soc.culture.*

- Time after time, the local international association in Turku has
- materialised like a phoenix and disappeared. It changes names and
- colours, but has limited vitality. The local newsgroup for ]bo
- Akademi, abo.utlanningar had also to be removed because nobody wrote
- to it.
