Just because people speak english *here* doesn't mean they don't prefer
some other language in some other context.

It's still borderline spamming IMO.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than to me, as
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

Geez, JR, he's been providing this free service and announcing it here
for _YEARS_! You are literally the only person I've ever seen complain
about it. Lighten, up, dude! It's not as if he's announcing his
Viennese waltz video in his signature or anything like that. ;-)

I'm waiting for a version in Gaelic-Serbo-Kanji(Big5).

I think if you look back you'll see the only reason I commented to begin
with was because Calvin replied (obviously confused by J.P.'s
announcement, BTW) apparently asking if there was a US version of
MT-NewsWatcher 3.5.3b. I (hopefully) ended his confusion by explaining
J.P.'s post.
I'm not really sure how I might lighten up about it when I'm not all
that upset about it to begin with. In fact, I filter J.P.'s
announcements, so I mostly don't see them. This is an exception.

Heck, you seemed pretty critical of J.P. to me. Under other
circumstances, I would have expected you to ask Calvin why he didn't
just look at Simon's site in the first place.

Thank you! And what did you think of my lovely instructor, Selena? Time
was when I couldn't even get a woman who looks like that to talk to me.
;-) But seriously, she's a great instructor and a wonderful person. You
can see how good a dancer she is.

She's about 5'9", I'm 5'8", and her heels are two inches longer than
mine. I wish I were about three inches taller, all in my legs.

I would have been disappointed if you hadn't said something like that.
