It's also my own choice that I prefer to use a threaded view and it's also up to me to not answer to mails that make it hard for me to understand the discussion. At the same time I am not someone that expects anyone in Italy (where I happened to do some vacation) to understand and speak my language. Instead I struggle hard to meet Italians within their own comfort zone as much as I can. Surprise, this works much better for me. :-))) kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
