Ah yes, I'm sorry.

True as well, my apologies.

I guess I didn't realize I wouldn't be the only one sometimes taking 
very long on a message :p.

Or stalling writing for some reason, whatever ;-).

Let's call it a time lapse ;-).

No of course, I didn't imply that. Just too many messages between Ralf 
and me and I forgot what the first messages had been.

Then Mr. Chris only responded to the later messages and I got lost more 
in it ;-).

I guess it is often important to check that you are not skipping things 
;-). My apologies again.

I'm sorry for suggesting malice on YOUR part ;-).

It's a bit like an earlier acquaintance of mine getting very angry when 
I didn't reply on MSN and when my brother went up and saw the messages, 
he told her "Lady, he's eating" ;-).
