Hi Mark,
Not sure if you worked for a newspaper before but please quote me
correctly if you feel it's your responsibly to apply some ethics to this
group.
My posting said :
A) "Thanks David" .. Meaning " I do appreciate your posting"
B) "I feel more comfortably". Implying that I would prefer to be talking
to "his" customers. He said, he has many customers.
Never said : " I do not trust you " and never thought I would have to
correct English grammar interpretations by somebody working for Novell.

Anton, I also felt your response rude. I looked for an explanation
beyond your name: if you don't speak English natively then I would
understand that you might not properly understand the nuances of what
you said.
It's easy enough, even amongst those who do understand English well. I
(an Australian) once described an American as penurious (I included
myself in the description). I'll leave you to research why I was
(properly) surprised that he took great offence.
