That does sound somewhat puzzling. The wide range of sensitivities and levels of English in the community mean that there is plenty of opportunity for words to be mis-understood and people to take offence at words considered by others to be totally harmless. All one can do is assume the best of others intentions. Taking communications off-list is certainly not the answer - even the suspicion of off-list decision-making is enough to worry some people. > PS: I don't apologize. :-P No, but you did explain yourself, which is almost as good :-) BTW - are you around on IRC any more? -Stuart ___________________________________________________________ Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with Yahoo!
