Enough already, give me a break! Why has everybody jumped to the conclusion that I'm some xenophobic, rednecked (your term, not mine), Ugly American? You don't know me. My comment certainly wasn't meant to ridicule somebody from another country for his poor command of the English language! It was merely a gibe at a very poorly written message. I have no idea if the writer is from another country, but judging from my combustible mail, I guess he is. To Paul only, I apologize if you were hurt or offended. I'm fairly new to this computer stuff, but judging from some of the traffic I've read, it seemed perfectly acceptable to give somebody the "business" for exceptional examples of poor spelling/grammar/punctuation. In that light, the writer of the message in question was asking for it. Heck, some of you are ridiculing people for their choice of computer server! I hope this reply will help to lighten the unbearable burden of shame I seem to have placed on so many. Respectfully yours, Bob Hengen (MCA #170) P.S. I'm the same guy who got the "business" for asking somebody to knock off their inflammatory (bigoted?) anti-Clinton comments. Seems you can't win! auf Wiedersehen/das vidanya/hasta luego
