shmerf... sorry about that... it always comes through fine for me and
i can't do the a umlaut=a: thing because "Your Signature cannot have
more than seven lines, and must be 600 characters or less." (pokatra
uthro debeth... stinky yahoo monkeys...) and yes i could use procmail
or something like that but i really don't feel like it... so if you'd
like to know what the question marks are and which languages they're
from... we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining
room proudly presents: your dinner (um...yeah...anyway...):

Eta`bnanni (by Tristan Alexander McLeay)

thier translations so they might be supposed to be apostrophes)

an acute marking... for most of them i just copied and pasted from
the original post)
