No, I have not received that Mirjam but my e-mail address shown here is
not a real one. I only posted my proper address once on a newsgroup and
for months afterwards received all manner of strange and wonderful offers
- most of which I would have needed to be a male to use if I could
have worked out what the various accoutrements were for !!!!!! It got so
bad that I stopped using that mail box and set up a new one. I will send
my address to you today. :-)

Mirjam I did not react to your reply. I reacted to the unkindness shown
in some of the comments BEFORE you replied.

Yes indeed. That final sentence I agree with 100%.

Excuse me CHRIS this Ng was always nice, considerate and every one was
patient.
The few people who thought that they+ had to be unkind , felt that
this wasn`t the place and eventually stopped doing it , After a nasty
attack of foul posts a big part of this group mooved to a closed
list.
I am very sorry if my answer to Mary disturbed you , it seems that in
the last weeks she jumps at my posts whatever i write........

Coming back from Lurkdom, Chris?
Good to see you, even if your post was misguided....

Mary Fisher. . .

I only see evidence of your continually being contrary to whatever Mirjam
writes/posts
about on ANY subject, THAT is what I refer to as a 'vendetta'.
I didn't say that you DON'T know anything, I merely pointed out that others DO
know of
what they speak/write, yet YOU accuse anyone who disagrees with your
self-conceived
'smarts' as not knowing of what they're talking about.
As for knowledge you DO have, no one disputes that, just the way you PRESENT it,
as if
you are the only person on the planet who knows something.
You remind me of the poem
Mary, Mary, quite contrary......
sorry, but that's the way it/you come(s) across.....

Noreen

Mary , you made an effort to tell me that your name was almost like
mine ,,,,,,thus why did you overlook that I specificly wrote that it
was `some sort of,,,,` meaning it was not exactly but it looks quite
like it !!!!
