MODERATOR HAT ON:

Hi again!

Now that understanding seems to have reasserted itself without any intervention from me (), I have a word to the wise: as the board statistics posted here by Rockin Robbins suggests, there are a lot of folks using these boards who don't use English as a first language. It might be good to keep that in mind when you read something in English that may be stated inartfully or seem vaguely insulting, since it may not be intended that way.

The use of the "smilies" such as :p, , etc., can help folks better understand the intent of your posts, so feel free to use them. As it is, my ability to write in languages other than English is "challenged" at best, so I would hope that others would extend to me the same patience and understanding on foreign language boards that I try to extend to non-native English speakers here.

Your blood pressure will likely stay a lot lower as a result.

Pablo
