Dear Jorge, I regret if anything I've said has upset you, and I certainly don't think you should even consider leaving the Sundial List.
I simply wanted to tell you that with my English-only handicap I have difficulty understanding your postings when they don't include English. The loss is mine. Part of my thinking was that, should you be willing offer an English translation, I might be able to learn a little bit of your language. Please continue to post interesting messages in whatever language(s) you feel are appropriate for this list. Stay well, Mac You wrote: > >Mac, > >This is a parenthesis on my strike until that anglo-saxonian >dialect poetry contest of yours chooses a winner. > >I can hardly forget that witch my english teacher were >and all those nights 45 years ago I couldn't sleep because >those nightmares about Iago, Desdemona, Otelo and so on. > >South of Equator there are more Portuguese and Spanish >speaking people than persons expressing themselves in other >ways.
