Hi! Maurice,

On 23 Mar 06 07:00, you wrote to me:

I was enquiring; not making a judgement.  (I wasn't even sure what part of
the world you come from.  Sure, you might be pointing off Janis but, hell,
I used to have a German feller pointing off me and he could have been
mistaken for an Aussie in echomail.)  I'm also willing to admit that I
failed English at high school, and am even more reticent about 'picking'
other people on their spelling than the average Fidonaut.

Oh, and drop the "chief" bit.  You don't know me well enough, yet.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
