Looking at this exchange, I'm minded to see it as a consequence of everyone exchanging opinions in a language other than their (different) mother tongues. Since you can't see the body language, the tone of the written word is all you have and being able to express exactly what you mean in a second (or third etc) language is often difficult. I certainly can't do it, so I don't expect anyone else to do it either. -- Brian Morrison bdm at fenrir dot org dot uk GnuPG key ID DE32E5C5 - http://wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net/pgpnet/wwwkeys.html _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
