    Do you think that I do not know that Morten posts from Denmark?
    Do you prefer that Morten reenforce these easily correctable

    errors? Or is this a secret shame to be kept in the family?

    Next to the option "reply to group", you'll find an option "reply to
    sender". You might consider using that instead. It has the advantage of
    still being able to give Morten his unsolicited spelling lessons, but
    without coming across as a pedantic twit (unless, of course, for that you
    were aiming.)

    reenforce is valid.
    Yes, I should have chosen "reply to sender."
    No, that is not my aim. His English is excellent. Do not spoil the
    ship for a half penny's worth of tar.

  2. This is just an aside, but later this week they'll do a stage into le
    puy en valay. It has kind of a funny significance. My ex's sister in
    law was from France in fact, Le Puy en Valay.
    She was bascially an imbecile, from an overbred family where they all
    have pasty skin. But my inlaws were awed by the fact that she was from
    FRANCE... this seemed to mean that she was made of gold and could do
    no wrong, even though you could hear the ocean echoing in her head.
    THey were always going on about FRANCE.. "Oh, that must be how they do
    it in FRANCE..." and every occasion we'd hear about france, and le Puy
    en Valay, ad nauseum, an they'd bring out maps and pictures... and the
    novelty still hasn't worn off. My ex can't stand her or her family,
    but his parents think they're all GODS because they're from FRANCE
    and live in some moldy old chateau. So we always joked about it,
    saying FRANCE and LE PUY EN VALAY in funny voices, imitating his
    parents... well you had to be there.

    The tour passes by there often and has done a few finishes there, and
    paris nice as well. However, in recent years, Le puy en valay has had
    a jinx on it. In 2004, the stage into Le Puy was snowed out. The year
    before, poor Kivilev had his accident right near there. I can't
    remember the last time the tour finished a stage there. But anyways,
    let's keep our eyes peeled!

  3. All that wasted energy for naught, Marlene. This year, it's finishing in a
    different town - le Puy en Velay. Hope you have a nice time waiting for the
    peloton arriving in that other place. Maybe you can have a nice cup of
    caffffeeee. Watch TV.

    No, it's the same place, I probably spelled it wrong. You'd think I'd
    know by now... god knows I've heard it mentioned enough times over the
    past ten years.

    That was then, this is now. In the Alps, Rasmussen was not as marked

    Marking in the alpes wasn't an Issue... Ulrich, Basso, Leipheimer etc
    were dropped by Armstrong, Rasmussen, Mancebo and Valverde on
    Courchavel. Are you watching the same race as me? As for the second
    stage there Rasmussen was marked and he didn't get away.
