I started this, so I guess I have the right to make the following request: Can we drop this sub-thread now, please? Michael, I don't see how you could read my original post as flamebait. You were not supposed to respond, I did not intend you to take offence and it was a harmless joke. Where I come from it's a self-deprecating in-joke and it goes like this: Q: Hmmm, app xyz is broken. What could be wrong? A: It's software. Come now, you really didn't expect it to work did you? You have every right in the world to take away from this thread whatever you want, and I have now explained publicly what I meant. If we still disagree, then that's 100% fine by me but I think we should get this out of these other fine folk's inbox. You have an answer and a solution that appears to suit you. That's a good point to end this at. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
