well, to be honnest, i have no idea if i should feel flattered or
insulted.... but anyways, yeah, i sorta found out that the thread talks
about more than just english, sorry if that seemed out of line, if you
realize, i myself started responding to them, however, thank you for
reenforcing my belife in this list, for i really enjoy talking about
clarinets (i will take my breathers) well, i'm going out for a while but
before i do, may i ask, what "concepts" are you referring to? i know my
spelling isn't perfect, but i was not aware that i had to dress up my
spelling....
