original

This

english.
> Your views are your own; nobody else has carried on the same way you have
>about the original message.  What is most troubling is the fact that the
only

>english, and not french, that his web page may not be of interest to
him/her.
>I find it very little of you to take offense to such a minor thing.
>Your aggressive attitude will only serve to create a more unsettling
>atmosphere.  Why do you feel you need to do this?
