Well thanks for the welcome, Jackie, and how nice to have been mentioned at all in the random postings of individuals who are so clearly members of the upper echelon of living linguiphiles. and witty to boot.... i think i'm gonna like it here =) OTOH, since i rarely have anything of quality to contribute i suspect i'll have the 'stranger' moniker for record time.
