I sympathise, by the way, on the issue of native speakers who switch to a
different language.  The Dutch are very bad - always switching to German or
English, even when I ask that they don't.



There's a very, very thin line between being just plain friendly (trying to
accomodate) and showing off...up to you to decide what the reason was *s*.



Kind greetings,
