Thanks for the nice compliment Dave, but I know what I'm..:-) Actually,
typing a message is much more easy since I can review what I've just

By the way, all of you have a great share in my current level of
English, since all this usenet (RTL, I mean) and Lugnet thing have been
a great boost in my (at least) written English..:-)

their name?..:-)
