Ha! I understand. The Preview and Send buttons are right next to each  
other. And once you push Send, you can't go back...But it was  
wonderful anyway! THANK YOU...it really made me happy to see Czech  
mail, even if it was a preview ;-)

Do not feel shy about this (everyone on the List). It is such a  
pleasure to see the first writings from any signed language, that  
something is better than nothing...that is my philosophy. Writing has  
to be done a lot, before we all get skilled and settled with the  
vocabulary etc, so trying to write email in your signed language now,  
will help you find the signs that are missing in the dictionary  
vocabulary...so it is a process over time...not something that  
happens perfectly immediately...but something that grows, like alll  
dictioinaries grow over time...
