Sorry for this. I did not mean to insult you or any esperanto-speaking 
people.

I just made some kind of:

Yo, that's what's scaring me :-D

Anyway here is my offer:

Send me a translation of the stack title and description of my X-Talk 
section on my
website in your language and i will make them available.

I will also provide a plugin in the next days that will let you also 
translate my
explanation-instructions inside my scripts, generate a short report 
save it as
a stack and you can mail it to me :-)

Will be useful to other users of RR also, of course...

The idea of a multi-language x-talk page and instructions is very 
exiting...

Feel free to add as many dumb jokes in the scripts as id did ;-)

> Excuse us for the noise.

No problem ;-)

Noone loves languages more than i do and there are many winesses of 
this fact
on this list (Bonjour Yves & Dag Ton & Konichi-wa mitchell-san... ;-) 
so again sorry for
any misunderstanding of my (sometimes far-out) sense of humour :-)...

(Sometimes i speak in tongues... :-)

Since i struggeld through the high learning curve of HC/SC/MC/RR all by 
myself,
i know how hard it is sometimes to get to the basics.

And so i am really pleased to privide some (hopefully) understandable 
examples
of theses basics :-) and some more advanced tricks, of course :-)

> I hope you'll get the whisky bottle!

To be honest.
The last one (i recceived last year because of some clever post)
is still more than 3/4 full ;-)

My favourite is:

Hush, hush: jan s., or one of his clones ;-)
