Hi KrilliC,

Some of us have "contraints" which encourage us to "hold back".  Many
times I've been tempted to let fly with both barrels.  I haven't yet.

Rod's a nice enough guy, as long as you don't have the temerity to
disgree with him and contradict his stated position(s).  He appears to
be incapable of sustaining a reasoned argument in a friendly tone.

Hence my "attack" on the weekend where I basically decided (quite
dispassionately mind you) to give him back some of his own.

Unfortunately I'm in a position of responsibility here with OzEmail,
and no matter how much I try and differentiate between professional
and personal posts, some people aren't going to notice the difference
and will therefore think that OzEmail are attacking him (which isn't
the case).

As you noted in an earlier post, kill-filing is the best way to deal
with it.

Kind regards

Steve
