Hi All, Although this is ended.
There is another interpretation of the use of "quick reply" quick can, also, mean brief/short !! That is how I read it. On the other side, Heba said a quick reply would be "highly appreciated". Which is very polite, even I he needed a response very fast! Language is so much fun. My apologies. Keith.
