Aha, I see.  Seemed like I was missing something,
because I did not understand in the first email what
you meant by that stuff about spells.  I recall
reading over the role-playing portion of your webpage,
but could not follow everything.  You did point out
that it was intended for experienced role-players  :L

Actually, I should apologize again because I hit the
send key yesterday before I wanted to!  But I was so
tired, and some friends were arriving that I just let
it go.

Anyhow, those Dutch acquaintances in BKK did speak
basically like Americans but IMHO much more
eloquately.  I could have listened to them - both the
son and his elderly mother - for hours...

Well, we've thoroughly trailed off the issue of
Ferko's webpage, so I'll shut up now  :)

Take care,
