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
