Hi Piero, Your double length Italian + English posting has just confirmed my feeling about the Tower of Babel ;-) I only recently resubscribed hackers, but suspect Jordan may be lurking behind this idea for national language lists ? :-) Good job you'r not here Jordan, I'd be slipping something in your capuccino ;-) After struggling to speak French (in real time, that's the hard bit), to the waiter in the Internet Cafe here in Munich last night, it's a relief to slip back to my habitual English on screen, + German in the local environment, Nothing against French language BTW, it's the 1st foreign language I learnt, but I would Hate to abandon our Lingua Franca (common language).... even if our American `cousins' have hi-jacked the Original language, & done strange things with the English spelling ;-) No double-speak for me thanks ;-) Best Regards Mit freundliche Gruessen Avec nos meilleurs sentiments Ciao etc etc etc etc ....
