    No, it's not the same thing - one is polite way of asking and the other is not.
    "We request..." sounds strong and irritates the hell of me...
    "We would like to ask you please ..." sounds much more better, doesn't it?

    Why are you wasting your time on such trivial semantics when we still haven't defeated Dracula and his league of vampire rollerskating prostitutes????

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    In Dracula's Castle (or home town) - Cetatea Poienari is located near the village of Curtea de Arges, about a 2.5-hour train ride from Bucharest (Romania that is).

    Really? Why is that? Sounds weird to me, though. Move to north-east - many leave in one state but work in another. We often go just for the weekend across two/three states (sort of get away).

    Under which category does Sandpaper fall? All VBFers should vote for Sandpaper, as it's a released product and is not under development.
