Maria,

It was simply a mistake on my part. I do not at all 

confuse the two organizations though I do not 

underestimate the influence of the US on the UN

and the various organizations affiliated with it.

As a matter of fact, a few hours after sending the first

post, I sent Bob a corrected version asking him to post

it instead.

It was apparently too late to do so!

Regards,

Max
