Me either. After all, it's Sergey's native language, and he's entitled to use it just as the rest of us use English or Korean or Swahili or French. Some days it really bugs me that the net is so English-centric -- uniform language often leads to homogenized thinking, and that's the last thing we need in technology. A little Cyrillic doesn't bother me at all, particularly as Sergey's got good stuff to say...8-) -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates RIP ER 1900-2002 GSTQ
