Gosh--I must have missed you, and I have only the paltry excuse that my
computer was in for repairs (to the hinge, of all things, and the tab key)
  last week so I didn't have time to catch up with a lot of messages.

It's all about the soooo much to learn here.  <G>  Glad to have a fellow
learner, too!  I suppose by default I'm the list's "Korean expert" on
colloquial/conversational Korean, though some of the people here familiar
with Chinese/Japanese know more about formal aspects than I do, by virtue
of speaking some colloquial/conversational Korean.  My mom would probably
die of shame.  <wry look>  Think of it this way: you're surrounded by
resources.  ;-)
