Hi!

[Tom Zurinskas]

Again, we can only guess at ages and background.

Because we are talking dialects here, it's good to know the background of
each participant.  I suggest all do as I and put a short bio such as mine
below in their post.  This bio is in my hotmail signature.

Tom Zurinskas, USA - CT20, TN3, NJ33, FL4+
