I remembered what else I wanted to say:
I recently read a few pages from a book, but stopped. The author aggravated me with the constant use of "..."

Well, it is very helpful from time to time. But not in every second line of a page, like that particular author was using it.

I'm glad you liked the card. And it didn't take much longer than a letter sent within Germany. Good to know. :-)
