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.
