Welcome back! Whether or not what you wrote is correct, depends largely on what you want to say ;) . "Even" is one of those nasty words in Dutch that have lost much of their original meaning and serve largely to add a certain feeling to the rest of the sentence. Basically, it means "for a short while". So, if you write "even terug", that means that you are back, but only for a short period of time.

I can imagine. What's wrong with him? Give him my regards and "beterschap", please... Jan ===== "Originality is the art of concealing your source." - Franklin P. Jones __________________________________________________ Yahoo! Plus For a better Internet experience http://www.yahoo.co.uk/btoffer
