I tried to contact you off list but my messages were bounced back to me. By reading your kind reaction the next morning, and through the kind=20 aid of others here on this list, I began to understand that I had made=20= a grave mistake. It is clear to me that email traffic can be hazardous at times because=20= in most cases one does not really know 'the other(s)', one does not=20 know what they look like, and, in our mutual case, the language barrier=20= may prove to be higher than we think, despite the ability of non-native=20= English speakers to speak and write in English, more or less. So I sincerely thought you were making fun of me and I felt hurt=20 because of it. Because I have understood that this is certainly not the case, I,=20 again, would like to offer you my apologies and, at the same time,=20 would like to warn my fellow non-American/English list subscribers that=20= life sometimes may seem different on 'paper'. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is 'wise' to become a subscriber to=20= an email forum where the majority speaks a 'different language'. On the other hand, both this list, and the internet have a common place=20= for people all over the World with English (Inkelish) as the language=20 everybody uses here, and there, and everywhere, so we, non-native=20 English users stumble on, make really miserable language mistakes=20 and... sometimes create unwanted trouble. Nevertheless, I absolutely enjoy being a subscriber to this list and=20 its members and will sincerely try to learn from my lessons. friendly greetings from Andr=E9 Oorebeek "where Music is, no harm can be" ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
