You know I have noticed, particularly from the Europeans, that they tend to
'miss' letters. I send, or at least try to send, at the same speed they
are going at. But I am constantly getting misses on the "T" in my call. I
can understand the miss of the "I" at the end, but the "T" ?? I get
stuff back like 'w4ni' like the T just is not there. I don't know what the
deal is.
