Shiri, you just moved this Sept.? You are amazing! Your English is very
very good. You think ... that 's more than many people do ... and you can
think in 2 languages(&compute in 2 languages). You know technical as well
as common usage words. Your grammar is probably better than mine. Everyone
writes in a different style. Uniformity is boring. I enjoy all your posts
and your webpage is so creative and fun. I have trouble just figuring out
how to find the strand to post to and in fact this is even the exact one I
was looking for to respond to, but it will do. My very first post was to
belville. It went out 4 times. You were so sweet. Your response was "what
happened here?" not who is this idiot (which was the way I felt). It helped
make me feel I could pick myself and just keep bumbling/stumbling along.
Don't be hard on yourself... Yes, you fit at lugnet and you make newbies
like me feel welcome here too.
thanks...
