Yes, Turkish is another language without genders and we add a "-mi" to ask a question too, like chinese. P.S.: Please don't ask "why do I reply 11 days later", i'm just lagging a little :) (Real reason(s): In the last 2 weeks, i've changed my PC@home 2 times, and after that i've moved to another city in this short time period. I *just* could find some time to skim through mails under lists/ folder. -mgm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
