Classic. Well played my country mouse friend.

So, did Todd flee already or was it a forced hiatus? I notice his name isn't there anymore on his posts. If this the Algonquin Round Table can I be Robert Sherwood? I have no more questions.

Man, you need to try a better translation program! Are you using Babelfish? Maybe Sharon can help you translate. I think she speaks French good.
