Je suis aussi preneuse pour toute explication concernant votre "politique de confidentialité" pour vos réglages Facebook! Merci mille fois d'avance à ceux qui prendront un moment pour me fournir du matériel. Vous pouvez utiliser les commentaires ou (c'est mieux pour les saisies d'écran) m'envoyer un mail à l'adresse mon prénom point mon nom (vous savez comment je m'appelle!)
