RE: FLASH:Cut the French [was] - PARLEZ- VOUS FRANCAIS ? -

[Hal Medrano]

S'cool with me.  Apologies also for my previous sharp response.


To put it in a friendly way, though, there are tons of postings to this list I

don't bother to read. For example, I'm a Mac user--postings about PC problems or

True Type fonts are irrelevant to me.  I simply disregard them, as I'm willing

to disregard postings between developers who are speaking a language I don't

understand.


No offense intended, just clarifying and again retracting my sharpness.


Take care,


Hal
