Hallo Richard!   
      
    RM> Why does he think it is a good idea to post poems in a language   
    RM> that most participants do not understand in this echo?   
      
   It has to do with the 0xc4 character which in latin1 is the Ä character.    
   This particular character doesn't exist in English so Swedish proverbs   
   starting with Ä were chosen instead and a queue of them was generated for   
   Little Mikey to post every time Digital Distortions posted it's ascii art,   
   which really wasn't ascii art given the non-ascii character 0xc4 which is an 8   
   bit character instead of 7 bit which all ascii characters are.  However   
   Digital Distortions quit posting before the queue was emptied so it got   
   deleted.  Also Little Mikey isn't a 'he' it is an 'it' instead.  As far as I   
   know computers don't have genders.   
      
    RM> I am genuinely wondering.   
      
   So am I about what the fsck LATIN-1 really is.  You seem to have genuinely   
   dodged that question.   
      
   Het leven is goed,
