Hi,\
By no means am I trying to start one of those which language is best
arguments we sometimes get into here, I was just expressing a feeling that
seems to have been based on impression rather than fact and trying to
encourage others and myself to help. I will stop posting and start working
for a while now so I don't cause any more trouble for the new owner.
Thanks.
