I'm just taking up list space here to say - Andre, I thought what you wrote
about the hammers was simply delightful and inspiring, and I second Jason's
sentiments here. Thanks for all you share!

  Hello, especially to Jason Kantor, and List,

  The other day I really, and totally, misinterpreted your "cortex and
delicious food" email.
  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 aid
of others here on this list, I began to understand that I had made a grave
mistake.
  It is clear to me that email traffic can be hazardous at times because in
most cases one does not really know 'the other(s)', one does not know what
they look like, and, in our mutual case, the language barrier may prove to
be higher than we think, despite the ability of non-native 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 because
of it.
  Because I have understood that this is certainly not the case, I, again,
would like to offer you my apologies and, at the same time, would like to
warn my fellow non-American/English list subscribers that life sometimes may
seem different on 'paper'.
  Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is 'wise' to become a subscriber to an
email forum where the majority speaks a 'different language'.
  On the other hand, both this list, and the internet have a common place
for people all over the World with English (Inkelish) as the language
everybody uses here, and there, and everywhere, so we, non-native English
users stumble on, make really miserable language mistakes and... sometimes
create unwanted trouble.

  Nevertheless, I absolutely enjoy being a subscriber to this list and its
members and will sincerely try to learn from my lessons.

  friendly greetings
  from
  André Oorebeek
