Hallo Richard!

I can speak for Little Mikey.

 RM> Sadly you did not answer the question.

What?? is not a question despite having two question marks.  It is more of a
statement of confusion if I am not mistaken.

 RM> "I wrote him xxxx in language yyy" would have answered the
 RM> question.

Ah!  Why didn't you say so in the first place.  The message was a Swedish
proverb which translated to English is; "If it isn't one thing it's the other,"
said the girl with a nosebleed.  I am not sure what the Austrian translation
is.

 RM> If you must use the command line, please install trans and send
 RM> me the output of trans text_msg.utf8

Was ist trans?  I tried looking it up but I get a different result than what
you probably mean by trans.  An url might be handy of where it can be located.

 RM> BTW you did not have a UTF8 Charset kludge in your message.

That is correct and you will probably never see one from that node until there
is a legitimate one that actually represents reality and not some silliness
dreamt up by a Fidonet developer who never bothered to do proper research.

 RM> Is Mikey and Maurice the same person?

Speaking for myself, no.  Little Mikey isn't a person.  However I will admit
that Maurice on 1:153/7001 does post and recently does replies for Little
Mikey.  I think he does an excellent job.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
