<laugh> Yes indeed, that is sort of what what I was trying to say. I was
as mad as hell and just wrote it as I remembered (or didn't remember)
the structure and words, minus a dictionary or grammar book nearby.
It's my future everyday language, so it doesn't hurt to practice I
suppose. Stay tuned for more serious booboos "zelfde tijd, zelfde
zender" (same time, same channel)
<chuckle>Nothing like screwing up in front of oh....about 200,000
people!
