For the record, I didn't answer your question because I don't know the answer. I wouldn't have bothered posting just to correct the /.../ vs [...] thing; I only added that as an aside in my post, whose primary purpose was to ask why some Germans are "ashamed" to say [T]. Feeling ashamed about producing a phone just strikes me as odd. I still don't understand it. Nor do I understand why you're annoyed. Several folks did actually answer your question, including BPJ as you indicate; if the others want to take the thread in a different direction, well, that's life on a mailing list. -Marcos
