Mark,
WELL DONE!!!!
I have sent many personal emails to Fernando, and I just could not
believe that he had flamed Jim so rudely (now there is a tautology:
"rude flaming"!). My first thought was "couldn't be the Fernando I
have talked with". My second was essentially the same.
The imposter may well imitate Fernando's style of writing English,
but he/she/it lacks Fernando's wonderful manners, grace and wit.
NOTE TO THE IMPOSTER:
As we (or at least some of us) Australians say:
CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR CESS PIT WHERE YOU BELONG.
(Yes, I know. What have I got against cess pits??)
To both Jim and Fernando: just keep on posting.
To Mark: thanks to he of much faith. Your message was indeed welcome
and provides complete aquittal of Fernando.
May I assume that the "thing" posing as Fernando has been removed
from the list by Daniel Roth??
John
PS: I was unable to write earlier as I have only just returned to my
office after two weeks field work.
