I am frequently prone to that as well. It is a useful illustration though of how e-mail is not always interpreted the same way by all, hence the usefulness of smileys as you have mentioned. Did no-one else smile when they read Marc's "prat tell" for "pray tell" ;-) Or Jerry addressing his reply to "Bernie" on ignoring typos ;-) Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Leica] Happy Fortgh of July!
