Please, have a couple of things in mind:

1.- This is an _OPEN_, INTERNATIONAL LISTING. Here are people, from many
parts -I live in South Europe-, and while I can not talk of my talents, I
can speak five languajes. Of course, this makes me not being as fluent as a
native in any of them, but I _CAN_ comunicate with 75% people in the world,
maybe I make some misspellings. My apologies.

2. - With Word-processing technology, there _IS_ a free lunch: modern word
processors not only check spelling, but grammar! Try one of these, and
you'll wonder how bad is your writting!


I have added OT: to the subject for obvious reasons.

Regards,

Andres j. Ogayar.
