Sorry, Chummers:

I hope this is more to your liking. I tried to remeber the latin
from my dust memory of seven years ago. Please if I make a mistake,
correct it gently, I don't take well to harshness. By the way I
siplified my .sig as was suggested.

Fair enough.

One thing, though...you misspelled Caeser.

That's about it...

Hey! As I said, I've taken 6 years of Latin.

When someone misspelles Caeser, it's bad.

And it was in his .sig, so it might matter...
