Thank you.

> You scan the text alternating between Huh?? and Ah-ha!

Ah, but that is exactly the feeling Carrajena gives me, too! Same 
with Fortunatian, BTW, although the latter has definitely a higher 
huh-level.

I think the Huh?? experience is mostly the result of the somewhat 
merciless orthography, in combination with some particular sound 
changes. The Aha-Erlebnis is mostly the result of the fact that at 
least 98 % of the words are taken straightly from Latin.

Mine too (although the last few weeks I've been using the group home 
pages more than my own address, because for some reasons messages 
came in only with one or two days delay). I always read my messages 
in IE, and there is always the possibility to set your encoding 
manually.

BTW, you still have a Chinese character in your .sig, Adam! ;)
