Hello Bill, Stefan and Everyone...
This is kind of you, Bill, to explain your story. I got a small smile  
from it. Perhaps you saved the rest of the restaurant from eating  
food that was not good for them ;-)

I am sorry to hear about your brother-in-law...That must have been a  
hard time...

So yes, we all have our times when we do awkward things...The Reply  
button in email can be dangerous...

No matter what, this discussion has shown me that I cannot wait any  
longer on changing the IMWA to include the new usage of that  
symbol...so it has had a positive effect ... pushing us forward one  
more step...;-)

Val ;-)
