Hmm, forgot to add a smiley to the end of that sentence, but who cares.. I'd rather keep postings in a single language.. Just like it's not considered nice to post in HTML even if your mailer sends it as a cleartext version elsewhere in the file. -- Universal CBM, PEZ, and TI-calc nut, Scout, Glider pilot, "Student" Email: vjo...@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope "I see", said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Same here, but i know that if one meets a fellow countryman/woman, it's very tempting to write in your native tongue. Luckily i can understand some German, a bit of French, a bit of Spanish, a lot of Dutch and English, and even a few words in Japanese but not a word Finnish/Suomi.
