Poor baby (me)! Ok: I've been... overzealous (sp?) and didn't see the
smiley. The problem is that English is not my first language, so it
happens that I don't read the postings with enough "light mind" to get
everything they put thru this damned narrow bandwidth. We could start
a thread on how the text-only computer-mediated communications
change/force the way people express themselves...  In Italy we call
this "climbing the mirrors"... :-)

Sorry!
Diego

[MODERATOR'S NOTE: Can you explain that metaphor, "Climbing the
mirrors"?  It might have some relevance, more broadly.  Seriously.
