Hi David,
 
I sure don't have problems with you Belgians, although there are a lot of
jokes on Belgians here in Holland. Hehehe, but a Belgian collegue of mine
also tells a lot of Dutchman-jokes...
 
As you probably understood I'm Dutch. My name is Erwin Bon, I'm 24 years old
and just recently started collecting.
 
Bye,
 
Erwin
