Hi Paul,

On 2016-08-23 20:35:13, you wrote to me:

 WV>> before I started working on my code, to see what kind of responses I

I probably write that all the time. Because in my mind (mint?;)) it sounds
like a 'd'. And you do write 'sending' not 'senting'... ;)

Could also happen. I could repeat the test when Ward is back online... Well
maybe... ;)

Isn't that a bit of an extreme response? ;)

It's better to get any response than no response.

 PQ> Thanks for the heads up.

As you mentioned it was a prototype, I thought you could use the feedback
to fix things?


Bye, Wilfred.
