Please don't pay any attention to that maniac Riggs. He's bi-polar and
currently even more annoying and irrational than he usually is. In AUE,
we frequently discuss Yiddish, German, French, Japanese, and other
languages. That monolingual schmuck Riggs is just envious of us
polyglots. If that _mulkku_ should bother you by e-mail, as he's wont
to do, just tell him _Vedä vittu päähäs!_ That will shut him up.

I agree with you, Jukka. The *only* reason for deviating this time from
my no-crossposting policy was to reach <sci.lang> and
<alt.usage.english> readers in many countries. Followup set to AUE.
