I think can be adapted.

I think would be better for everyone.

I think it would be easy with more info about it.

I think it would be easy with more info about it.

I`ve looked yes, some of it, not all for sure, but i do not see how this make any difference on this subject.

But, of course, if you don`t think is a good idea, then ok.

Sure i`m not here to convince anybody of nothing. I`m only proposing ideas. Only that.
Sure if this ideas don`t found resonance i would be the last to try to convince anybody.
I simply don`t have the energy to do this struggling.
