At first I read it the wrong way, too, Wolfgang, and I was surprised that
anyone would do that on this list, after reading the FAQ. But on closer
examination I realized you were referring to your own question. As English
is my second language as well, but one I'm very comfortable with, I've
learned the hard way to be very careful employing any possibly pejorative
vocabulary. ^_-
