Erwin, I love ya, buddy, and your English is better than mine, 
BUT, you gotta learn to paragraph! When I start on one of your 
posts, I'm overwhelmed by the presentation of a solid block of 
text that will last for several screensfull or printed pages.

Normally, the last thing I would do is criticize a person's writing, 
when English is their second or more language. You, however, 
are an exception. You're right on the edge of sounding like a 
native English speaker/thinker, so what the heck, you deserve 
to bear the criticism of a native English speaker. ;-)

Now, having violated my own rule, and, I'm sure, irritated the 
'nice' people on the list, I will await the onslaught!
