I'm sorry David, but I find this very offensive.
Before we continue, I would ask you to watch this video:

Watch it from 3:20 to 5:45. Before reading any further, please.
I would much rather you explained to me directly what you wanted to say
by linking this clip. I know Steve Hughes is a stand-up comedian; if you
are having trouble explaining yourself then perhaps it would be better
to cite a more authoritative source.
Mable has a problem understanding the complexities of replying to a post
using his SMTP client while keeping to the list's rules.
I'm pleased that you understand the whole thing comprehensively yourself
but, as you reply goes on to demonstrate in your post, it is a horribly
complex business.
You seem to think that I was impugning Mable Syrup's intelligence when I
said it was simple. You're wrong; I wasn't.
I don't think you mean "impugning". It doesn't make sense in that context.
But really? You think you can say without any implication that a thing
someone doesn't understand is "simple"?
This is the get_iplayer list. It is appropriate here to be as bland as
possible, and to concentrate on facts and specifics about the
functionality or otherwise of get_iplayer.
There are places for blasé undermining of people's shortcomings, but
this is not one of them. Please try to restrict you comments to
technical topics.
