Hey Mark, Jeff, et.al, caveat: I am not a 'supporter' of Jeff - I am a 'fan' of Pia's, but she's not Jeff - well, not last time I had lunch with her [1] :') >> Those who don't feel comfortable with it, and would prefer that we do not >> engage at all, can find somewhere else to play with themselves instead. :-) >> > > This comment is totally uncalled for!

I will admit, when I read it several hours ago, in the flow of the conversation on LinuxAu, the last thing that came to mind was that Jeff was referring to 'Onanism' with his comment. I took it to be a comment to playing computer games / reading books / watching tv / whatever without coming (pun *not* intended) to the meeting. Now, perhaps I am getting clueless in my dotage (just had another of those pesky birthdays), and perhaps I don't know Jeff as well as you do - but not *everyone* reads the postings and assumes "the worse" from people. In parts of this conversation there appears to a whole heap more heat than light being generated.
