I hope that we can all learn somehow from the incident. When i reacted the way i did, i was picking up subtle undertones of aggression which i thought were undue. I have since spoke to Bruno and diffused the situation amicably.
I would agree with what Emily says, and the things I take away from it all are: - For the more experienced, if at all you will help, do try to be patient with posters even in your language. This is partly how the helpfulness of the list may be judged. - Try to check impulsive reactions, as they may only add to the problem rather than solving it. (okay, that would be me i guess). Finally - yes Emily, my multiple posting was unintentional :-) Regards, Sithembewena On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 1:16 PM, Emily Rodgers < emily.kate.rodg...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > On Feb 18, 9:25 am, Atamert Ölçgen <mu...@muhuk.com> wrote: > > Hi Sithembewena, > > > > On Thursday 18 February 2010 00:27:10 Sithembewena Lloyd Dube wrote:> > Emily provided an answer according to what she understood from the OP.
