Sorry but I really don't know. And I don't know what happened. I can't read your thoughts.

I simply asked because I did not know if you were aware that I had posted the second track. If I post something it is obvious I want people to hear it. Forgive me but I do not understand why you questioned me in the first place.

That's OK Rod. I am sorry if my question sounded strangely or was a bit impolite, the reason was that I didn't know why you questioned me and I was a little worried whether there wasn't something completely incomprehensible or wrong in my message – my English is terrible, I know it very well, and sometimes I think that native English speakers here must be shocked when they read my replies that are full of mistakes. So forgive me for my English here if you can.

Now I see the right reason and I will not ask such a stupid questions any longer. I've just heard the second track – great music, indeed.

Athea, you don't give yourself enough credit. To me, your vocabulary, punctuation and sentence structure is very good, especially when compared to the dismal and infantile stuff found in chat rooms/forums that plague the internet nowadays. Additionally, your English (even though I'm reading it) sounds better than what I hear from students in college here in America. I never have a problem understanding your posts and I don't think anyone else does either.

Well said, NK. Athea's posts are just fine.

Nice and encouraging to hear it – I must say that two months of membership in this forum have given me more than a year of learning English at school, my English teacher will see it soon!

Off topic for this site and thread, but the moderators are away so the mice will play. When I am in France I speak French fairly well - well, passably, they all understand me - but I am damned if I can understand them. Do you have this problem with English?

Similarly off topic, I was unaware I have been promoted to Administrator, and I've got a gold medal that comes with the rank! But now I am there will be an effective clampdown on spam, and any other unruly behaviour...as I in my almighty wisdom perceive it...

Go get 'em! Don't just delete their messages and kick them off the list, but also stick their heads in boiling oil and their keyboards in honey; and make them listen to Pink Floyd and Dr Dre and Eminem all day.

I mostly don't have this kind of problem, it depends on many things...But now I think that I have. I am not so sure if I understand you well...You've just got me, ha!

Rod, I am aware (very well indeed) that this is off thread, but it was not my intention to change Beethoven reference site to English reference site, really...And I think that people here don't have similar tendencies, we all are here because of music and Beethoven.

Don't damn us, please! Have mercy on us...

I fight the dark thoughts, for I was taught that we must always succour the afflicted, though it is against my nature.
