Hi Mike,

Actually reading properly the post you are replying to?
Answering in a polite, considerate manner?

SHOUTING?

Sacha made a very friendly, chatty post and asked a question in an
endearingly polite way. I think it's fair to say that most people who
replied didn't like the idea of binaries being posted here (even if it
were
possible). However, most of the people who replied seemed to manage to
do so
without bursting a blood vessel.

It should also be added that her response was considered and accepting
of those views. In any case, she was just asking for opinions and not
pressing for a change.

That's something you may wish to reflect on.

Hmmm. Somehow I very much doubt he will. Never done it before. What
was it about laughing hyenas and changing spots? Oh, no it was
leopards. Maybe in this context the former is more appropriate.


You may be sure that he will be back again in a few minutes, or hours, or
days.
He will pretend that this offensive outburst has never happened, and that
no apology is due.
When he reappears in the next topic he will once again have the only
correct answer, and anyone who dares to disagree will be contradicted with
his unique blend of abrupt rudeness and childish tantrums.

At least most of you people only have to face him on the gardening NG, and
you should be grateful for it. Those of us on the Isle of Wight not only
have to put up with him on our uk.local NG but also have to live with him
in our midst. His crackpot schemes for destroying the Island's environment
are of course laughed off, but we still have to listen to them.

You have my sympathy, I wouldn't like to have him anywhere near me!

Alan
