Lines: 15 Class: discussion But you do take a risk that the person you're replying to won't understand, or understand fully. You responded to a posting of mine in French. I read the reply, and understood most of it, but did not feel confident enough to reply in either language. After all, I saw inconsistencies in your posting, but where they errors in your logic, or errors in my French? Not having the energy to go home and get my Anglais-French dictionary, I didn't reply. Unfortunately, if I did make an error, people would assume it was my brain that was at fault, not my French... So maybe it's a good way to shut people up... :-) -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
