Yes you are right that is a very presumptuous statement... nothing personal and no offense meant for those developers of the application or anyone who doesn't have the name of Kemosobe and may have taken offense to such an outrageous ill-founded statement. (Seriously, I do apologize) As for grammar police, I hate you all. I hold no regrets that my career has been based on my technical ability not my ability to write a book that would get by a NY Times editor with no corrections. If I had seen the writing on the wall 30 years ago to learn some Spanish, Chinese or Indian dialects, I probably would have slacked in those classes as well. I do have a friend that is a Chinese translator and not only does he make twice the money I do, he gets to visit a beautiful country 10 months out of the year. So my friend Bill Fairfield, thanks for slapping me in the face to the rudeness of previous post. I wish you the best. You are obviously a person of passion for all man kind. I like that. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Fairchild Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 9:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: IBM Withdraws Patent Application on offshoring jobs And how do you know that they are "foreign people"? Some of the five have what might have been foreign-sounding names before the USA became the great so-called melting pot, but that does not make them foreign people. The news item quoted gives home towns for all five of them as being in the Westchester County region of New York. What is there about the name "Daniel Patrick Connors" that proves he is foreign? Ah, maybe he's Irish. That's definitely foreign. Perhaps their families have lived for 100 years in Westchester County. Please explain how you know that all five of them are foreign people. And you made a spelling error in your post ("to employee" should have been "to employ"). Maybe you are foreign, too, since you are not proficient in English. I am never surprised when anyone does anything in his own interest, but your leap of logic is outrageous and ill-founded.
