Dear Raymond. It's not offensive. It's funny. You are Australian:
lighten up. First Australian I ever heard objecting to the word
'bastard'. What's happened down there?
Anyway, it's not a joke about Australians, it's a joke about agile
blockers, whatever they might be. (Don't tell me!)

'bastard'. Now does it make sense?
Richard, that's offensive.
Has anyone else been thinking that the standard of discussion on PPIG
hasn't taken a real dive in recent months? Maybe its time to have a
moderated version of PPIG; or just close it down while we still
remember
it fondly.
