Bill, English being my second language, sometimes I'm not aware of connotation implied in the words. It reminds me of once when I said, "I believe we all get what we deserve". To me, it simply means we reap what we sow, be it good or bad. But I was corrected because 'deserve' implies punishment, of which I wasn't aware.
This is a good reminder. Thank you.

You didn't say your were 'rewarded' with the life of a fox... But I of all people know how tricky the English language can be when talking about these types of things, so I'll take your word for it. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], siska_cen@... wrote: > > Bill, I never said it is a bad (or good) thing.
