A local ISP ran an ad claiming that their staff spoke a lot of
languages, but geek wasn't one of them. They listed Klingon as
one of those languages, so I wrote them. They asked if they
could run my message and their response in another ad.
Their response was Klinglish gibberish which I rewrote and
offered to them. They accepted. Except for dropping {net maq}
from the end of my first sentence, they got my part right,
anyway.

Will,
Here's what we're running - the ad is just about on the way to the
newspaper as we speak - it's a tiny ad so your we had to snip off your
signoff and name in Klingon, but your Earth name appears as noted -
Thanks again!
Chuck
