<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=System size=2>> <BR>> I am new on this list and
think it is about time I make myself heard. Let me<BR>> at once say: I am
Norwegian, consequently English is my second language. So<BR>> please
overlook the numerous grammatical, and orthographical, mistakes I am<BR>>
bound to make.<BR>> <BR></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=System size=2>You needn't apologize to us Americans for
your command of English. It has been pointed out to other Europeans, South
Americans, etc., on this list many times that we residents of the USA
usually have much poorer English skills than most of the "foreigners" who write
us in their non-native tongue. You may certainly count yourself among
their number.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=System size=2>I sometimes think one of the main reasons
I subscribe to the DCML is so I can exchange pleasantries with folks
who can use proper English for a change!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
