Not curious, guess you don't get a lot of e-mail - we get at least 6 to 10 foreign e-mails a week, and we have for the last few years – e-mails that are totally written in a foreign language – they immediately go into my file 13. I don’t waste time even attempting to read them. Why such is sent out is beyond me, but I have too much to do to bother about people who send mail that no one can read.
