Since this thread has quite (somewhat) gone OT, I am quite (very) sure you  
guys wont' mind, I've find the word 'quite' quite (rather) confusing. As a  
non-native english speaker, there are words with multiple meanings, or  
double entendres, which is quite (very) alright; but to have a word with  
contradictory meanings is quite (somewhat) unacceptable, because I'll have  
to guess in which context it was intended for. (Never end sentence with  
preposition? - then .....intended for, guys.  :) and "Never start a  
sentence with 'never'?"  ha ha ha)

ps: I confess I'm having loads of fun with the english language, perhaps  
at quite (guess!) the same level as you guys with the english signs  
displayed at non-english speaking countries. But as usual, just quite good  
natured ribbing; nothing serious to take offense with, I hope. ('I hope'  
added in so as not to end the sentence with 'with')

And Merry Christmas! (over? how was I to know?)
