Actually, I think your explanation was VERY clear - especially admirable when I consider that English is not your primary language! I am still getting over the trauma of studying Latin in the 9th and 10th grades (1956-58). This disruption wasn't a major issue for me, as I mentioned, and it only affected a few messages. I appreciate your good explanation. -- Sincerely, with respect, Bob -- "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." This is our function, our challenge, our fulfillment - and our inheritance, to accept, embrace and share beyond all manmade boundaries.
