How do you gentleuser's start your X stuff?

Frank,

I think Alexander probably hit the send button before he was finished 
writing a reply (or, in this case, before he even started).  He signs 
all of his emails with ``bye [return] ago'', so I am guessing that he 
has this in a signature file that automatically gets added to the end of 
the emails that he writes.  The ``bye'' is because he is a native German 
speaker and lots of Germans use ``bye'' as their closing... that is just 
a cultural thing.  You should hear them speak it... they say it very 
politely, not curtly like it may seem in email.

Anyway, your questions are valid here, just wait until someone answers them.
