In only consider if my parents call me Lluis. my familly, my friends, why should I continue with a forced name for political reasons?, I prefer to be knowed by everybody by Lluis, and I'm not absolutely concerned when I talk with some one of another Spanish Region and he call me Luis, if I write him an e-mail even I put Luis. I'm sorry, but with all the modesty I think we should be universals. Thank you very much for your very kind words, I hope the opportunity to share more cervezas, and more than cervezas, i.e. tapas. No, no I'm very proud to be simply Lluis from Reus, nathing else.
