Hey, John,

What's the difference between the link I posted and the one you posted? I see yours has "?hl=en" appended, but I don't see any difference in the pages.

I noticed that too; I was afraid someone would ask. :)

I'm not sure really, I know next to nothing about the Internet and url's. It kinda looks like it might have something to do with language ... perphaps denoting language=english or some such thing. It's been in my IE favorites for some time and I don't remember any details about it. I think I did sign up for some kind of Google membership or acccount or something (I've needed to post via Google on a couple of occasions); maybe there was a preference there for what language I wanted.

Maybe there is an internet guru lurking here who can fill us in.

... 2 minute pause

I just looked at the Google home page and saw a small link for Language Tools; clicking that tells me I can set my preferences for the language I'd like to search in, so I lean more toward my theory above - I'm guessing I did that some time ago and just forgot about it (and never even noticed there was that funny little suffix on the url).

Thanks to all for the link.
