Dear Mr. Melroch,
You know Philip, I really like that Melroch name...
It's very exotic and and well, maybe quixotic aslo.

I am sorry that I wasn't too bright in distinguishing Phil(ip)s myself.
You are of course both entitled to
your distinct personalities and please chalk it up to
my inexperience in aux/conlang lists.  Please keep putting up with us silly
newbies.  We actually do enjoy
everything you have to say, I believe I am not speaking
for just my self when I affirm that.

The members list URL'ed above may help newbies and those interested in
personal differences to read up on
Aux/Conlang authors and their projects.  This is one
of the benefits of the list that I kinda had hoped it
would serve.

Also, Philip, I just changed the font in my mail program and went to a
Courier font with equal spaces and typewriter looks.  And VOILA! at the
bottom of your
message this neat ascii graphics shows up.  I bet there are still some
others who are still wondering what the
sticks and angles at the bottom of your messages are due of course to
"billgatesation" (as in MS-imail) and "pomiscuity" (shameless use of Apple
Macintoshes on the Net).

Jay B.
