Terrel, I'm sorry that I forgotten to mention in my last message, but if has
any use for anyone (from misunderstanding point of view) I never intended to
blame anyone, especially you. I believe you have the one having one of the
greatest portions with your greatly appreciated efforts in my (and our)
modelling enjoyment. I just try to express my (continuos) objections about
the system. This is not meaning that I believe that you were offended by my
message, but just to clear things a little more (1)
Regards,
Selçuk
(1) My lack of good enough English sometimes made things go bad, without a
real cause. Just because the style that I unintentionally (or unconsciously)
used in a post. Communicating without the help of "mimics" and
"sounds/pronunciation" is quite a hard thing. Add not being a native English
speaker to it..:-)

| No apologies are needed, Selçuk. I understand your objections, and wish there were an easy way of fixing them. And your English is very good, IMO. :-) -- Terry K -- (...) (26 years ago, 27-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
