Timo is the epitome of diplomacy compared to many of the postings seen on this group. When you consider that English is not Timo's native language he uses it more elegantly than many whose native tongue is English. Although the message which started all this was a personal one directed to Timo, it also shows the impersonality of email. The writer probably would never have used such ill-tempered and insulting language in a voice telephone conversation. He also ought to hit "N" if it bothers him so much rather than directing such a tirade at Timo. Forrest Gehrke feg@dodger.att.com
