Didn't get at all what you were trying to say.

Please don't get me wrong. I know your mother tongue isn't English,
neither is mine. You have got one thing to keep in mind: If your
command of the language you are writing in isn't top notch you better
adhere to a couple of rules:

- Phrase things as simply as possible. Avoid complicated sentences.

- Don't be sarcastic. Sarcasm gets lost and so does the *content* of
your post.

- Don't try to be funny. It doesn't come across if you don't know how
to be funny in a foreign language.

- Be as straight forward as possible. Even if you sound rude (people
will give you credit for expressing yourself in a language you
haven't grown up with), that's far better than sounding gibberish.

Native speakers on this lists can try to be funny/ironic/sarcastic.
People like you and I better use simple English.

I am *not* saying you can't express yourself. You most probably can in
Polish.

Couldn't resist to rant a wee bit here. So for balacing it off: Peace,
love, sunshine, good beer and single malt!
