Pat,</font></span></div>

'Snipecatcher'</u></font></span></div><span><div class="Ih2E3d">
<div>> <span>> </span>Please
try to list in english also as we are not all as gifted as all <br>><span>> </span>you folks on the list and we do need to
make the list as accesible as<br>><span>>
</span>possible.</div>
</div><div><br><span></span><u><font face="Courier New">h<span>ere:</span></font></u></div><div class="Ih2E3d">
<div><span>> </span>I don't mind it ... this is why
(just my thoughts).</div>
</div></span><span>...</span></div><div class="Ih2E3d">
<div><span><font face="Courier New"><font face="Times New Roman">> In not-idle<br>> moments, I delete, unread,
things without E in the subject line <br>> (although I admit I didn't
recognise this useful tag for too long!)</font></font></span></div>
<div> </div></div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">Traitresse
;-)!</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">We are NOT any
homuncenous group of acquademics and intellecturers with just a limited width of
interests dealing with specialised themas.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">A large number of
our members for my guessing are not explicitely aeducated for the subjects
they're posting or have to reed above.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">Tak me, for
exampel. Though I think i've had a quite god aeducation in Englisch language at
school and later at the Navy's i hadn't been in contect with practising
it for mor then </font> <font face="Courier New">25 jears- more
or less. </font></span><span><font face="Courier New">I
hadn't dealed with linguisms and its 'termini technici' outside of the school-
and that at least nearly happened 40 jears ago.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">But- I guess
everyone who is really interested in the matters we diskuss IS able to give a
little hint now and then to explane his (partly very special; without a chance
for a good dictionary) weirdest terms and writing systems.</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">Obviously our
Kanuma at the moment is busy outside the list, otherwise he would perhaps have
told you that some years ago we came to a sort of agreement that we
should use two languages if possible. And I have done so, for a long time, but
finding out that I seemed to be part of a very small, decreasing minority I
ceesed to transscribe hole textes.</font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">I have to agrea
Peter- sometimes it could be very useful to see leastwise some English
explanations within the text (in special at our Afrikaans friends; it's not
always very easy to understand them even for a native Lowlanner
;-)).</font></span></div><div class="Ih2E3d">
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>> This is because it is far easier to
read in an<br>> additional language than it is to write, so we include people
who <br>> (think) their English isn't good enough,</span></div></div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">You might see- I
don't think this weigh ;-)!</font></span></div>

<div align="left"><span><font face="Courier New"><u>PS:</u> Again I'd like to recommend <a href="http://wordweb.info/" target="_blank">http://wordweb.info/</a> as a very useful tool
for every non-native English writer. Fast and encyclopaedic. But if you want to
install it you have to vend your Jeep and cross the Antlantic with H.M.S "Queen
Mary II"...</font></span></div>
