You in spades. Did you really think I was serious about poms ?  Or Abos ?

> I was just getting in on your string of thoughtless comments.

You didnt even notice that it was a joke, Joyce.

> I have no probs at all with the use of the term pom.

You have always been, and always will be, completely
and utterly irrelevant. Specially when you are so stupid
that you didnt even notice that my original was a joke.

> "Abo" though is a derogitory term when used in that way,

Wrong. Its just another example of our propensity for that
type of abbreviation. Seen with smoko, johnno, davo, leso etc.

It isnt always feasible like with poms, there isnt any
easy way to turn English or British into that sort of
abbreviation, so the word pom is used instead.

> and working in aboriginal welfare I do find it slightly offensive.

You have always been, and always will be, completely and utterly irrelevant.

> No enough to have a serious go at you though.

You'd just make an even bigger fool of yourself than you've just done.
Hard to believe that is actually possible, but I bet you'd manage that.

> Lighten up

I tried that already, some clown didnt even notice. Wota prat.

> and stay on topic.

Do something unprintable with your head and a dead bear's bum.
