We live in a big world, and the words are understood differently from place to place, depending on your personal situation, the culture you live in, how well you know the person at the other end, and what not.
I did not intend to attack you personally, and I'm sorry if you felt it that way. I appreciate your contributions to LyX, and I have learned a great deal from you.
Take care, Asger P.S. Maybe we should serve some positive sandwiches again?
