Well : It seems a little bizzare to me that you would start your mail with points about the language barrier being an obstacle that should be kept in mind , and then finish your mail with a paragraph totally in German .
Anyway , you are right of course about my sarcastic comments (and much worse) . Having wayyy too much fun here . I blame it all on Matthias for winding me up last night . Time to pull in the reins (so to speak [grin]) ... garry Just a few lines to garry...: (doesn't fit to this topic) hhmmm... sorry about that garry, but I have to say this... I am somehow a bit confused about how you treat some of the other list members. Many of us are not living in countries where the first language is English... I'm German for example (like Robert, Mark, Frank, Stefan, ...) and I sometimes don't understand your sarcastic phrases... and maybe this is one reason for a misunderstanding (please correct me, if this is wrong). Please avoid using phrases like "you guys really do need to get the money back that you spent on those speed reading courses . " in your next emails... there are people who aren't that good in English as you (...like ME^^) Bin ich der einzige, den seine Beiträge ein wenig stutzig machen lassen? Ich kann teilweise nicht einordnen wie das jetzt gemeint ist... Mir kommt es nur teilweise etwas grob vor... Liebe Grüße, Jan ps: It's just a suggestion... put this mail to spam, if you like :) pps: the quotation I used is just an example... there were a couple of other phrases you wrote today, that took me aback...
