I think I have seen questions here from Bo/Lisbeth, or maybe that was on the Swedish list. Telia is a Swedish ISP, Bo and Lisbet are also Swedish. I am not sure of they are senile, but if they are old they probably don't understand English very well. That could be the problem, or maybe their computer got infected by a virus of some kind, or something. But, as I said, I think I have seen at least Lisbet asking questions on this or the Swedish list, so I doubt they are senile... but I have been wrong before, on the other hand. Maybe I could write to them in Swedish to find out what's the problem in this case, and actually get an answer from them.
