Hello from France

[Michel Lachance]

Hi Marc,

That's a full load of questions you got there.  Just to answer the first 
one, yes there are quite of few french speaking contributors on this list.  
Besides myself, there are Marcel Carey, Paul Larudee and cetainly other 
names that I have seen once in a while.

To not annoy the other people with a foreign language, perhaps would it be 
better to share privately.

So we won't have to say, "excuse my French..."  :-)

Au revoir!

Michel Lachance, RPT
