Jeff's comment was about the _accent_.  Had it been about the tech
support workers not being able to speak English, I wouldn't have
touched it with a ten foot pole.

You've read way too much into my exchange with Jeff so I'm leaving the
rest of your e-mail untouched (except the very end).

Jeff's capiche remark was directed at me.  (Perhaps, unintentionally but,)
it came across to _me_ as condescending.  Hence my comments; and I
dismissed it with an 'I don't care "whatever ..."'  IMHO, it was his
remark that was uncalled for.

Oh, really?  Please go back and check.  His comment was about
accents and knives.  And, he said "No, I *don't* have a problem
with overseas tech support."
