I'd better provide a translation, as this message is intended for those who
*can't* read it yet.

You are quite right, Qov. When I joined this listserver I was completely
quiet. When a few months went by, I sent my first message. ghunchu'wI'
(name) found many foolish errors, but he encouraged me. I keep sending
messages. Now SuStel has succeeded ghunchu'wI', and Qov has succeeded
SuStel, and I believe that I am skilled. In order to become skilled, keep
practicing!
And one correction, pagh: {jabbI'IDghom vImuvDI'} yIqeqtaH! Also, I would
have said {qaSpu'DI jar puS}, as the months had already occured at the time
you sent the first transmission.
