Hi :) +1 I think Twayne was showing his sense of humour again. In England good friends often do petty jibes at each other in that way. The better the friendship the more outrageous the jibes/jokes.
The problem imo is how people outside that friendship view it. A non-native English speaker might be terrified to learn the level of precision apparently required. On the other hand jokes/jibes like that can often release tension. The next comment by someone else about snipping was hilarious imo but again it's easy to read it in a different way from the way it was intended. If we were all in a pub or at a cocktail party or other social gathering the meaning would have been clearer from body-language and facial expressions. Sadly (or perhaps fortunately in my case) all we see are the words printed on the screen. Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Simon Cropper <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Tue, 16 August, 2011 2:41:21 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc will not save file after sheet deleted [RETORT TO FLAMEBAIT; DNFTT] <snip /> Thank you for your feedback, albeit off topic.
