Re: The point of the point.

John,

I would be the first to say we are all expert at the universal language of
facial expression and possibly of body language as well at least amoung
people with a common cultural history. After all we have been practicing
this for the last 100000 years at least. With this type of communication
(text) I'll admit I'm a bit handicap and it seem it doesn't get better with
age at least in my case.

Regards
Yves

PS "D'accord. Prenez vous un bon jour" no offence intended but this is not
very good french but it's understandable, something like "have a nice day"
maybe. Could it be a computer translation?
