Thanks, Henry, for proving that the phrase "Keep cool, but care" doesn't 
mean shit. Must say I'm a bit disappointed with the p-list, here. Strange to 
see that once an (however little) alien element arrives, you tend to react 
like a bunch of all-american frat boys (I've had the misfortune to meet some 
of them). Humour haw haw haw is sometimes a good excuse. Unfortunately I 
have no time to start a hardcore polemic, and I don't think this is the 
right place to do so.
So I'll just giggle and dismiss the matter... oh, by the way,Henry, do open 
your ears to other musics and travel a little outside the US of A one of 
these days...
Oboy oboy, am I getting serious...
Sans rancune. Apres tout, ce sont ceux qui tentent de tuer les langues qui 
prouvent qu'elles sont bien vivantes.
