No ill feelings to our friend Argo44, but I'd just like to point out that I am sure I am not the only unilingual English speaker on the board. When a non-English speaker makes a post that is unintelligible to me but understood by Mr. Argo or one of the other posters and who can read the post displays his or her ability to speak a foreign language it is also meaningless to me.

It would be a kindness if a member here who can understand that foreign gibberish would take a moment and translate the foreign language post and then post his doubtlessly knowledgeable post in English as well a in French, Spanish, German etc. so the foreign poster can also read the reply, just in case the other poster can read English no better than I can read French.

Just a thought...Geo
