I was about to reply to this dishonorable rudeness as well.   I 
remember distinctly that Captain Ady sent several messages about 
trying to FIND a copy of your blessed TKD.  He eventually got a reply 
directing him to the KLI merchant page.  I would assume he has either 
ordered it or is going to at his convinince.  I have noticed a 
disturbing amout fo rudness directed at the non-American 
members of this list who have joined recently.  I think some of us 
should be a little more understanding of not only the difficulties of 
getting the materials to learn this language, but also the 
difficulties of learning a THIRD language through the medium of a 
SECOND language.  I have become more and more disillusioned with the 
type of behavior I have observed and the interminable repetition of 
non-answers given on this list.  Klingon may continue to thrive, but 
if it does it will be IN SPITE OF this type of behavior.

Qapla'
mu'vaj.
