Hi UuOoBb

Your comment comes over as rude and disrespectful. If you disagree
with a comment that somebody makes on this list that fine. I think it
would be better if you did so in a way that tried to move the
discussion on. Using sweary and demeaning words in a critical email is
unlikely to do this, and if you disagree with somebody else's view, it
would be more constructive to say why you don't agree with it in calm
language.

Cheers

G
