Ian, I sincerely apologize for offending you. It was not my intention at all. I assumed from Xavier's response that he was not familiar with the pejorative you used and I was attempting to provide the definition in a humorous context while alluding to the fact that it was a British slang term. I do not believe that your actions required a genuine apology and I was not attempting to provide such.
For the record, I have no beef with the British. While none of my best friends are British (as far as I know), at least half of dozen of my favorite comedians are. - Isaac On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 2:16 PM, Ian Bambury <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Isaac, maybe this is also a British thing, but to me, someone who doesn't > know me apologising on my behalf for something I did deliberately appears > patronising. > > Xavier. > > May I ask > > * Why you refer to the members of this group as 'clients' of (presumably) > "Google Group Client Based Tech Support"? > > * What position do you hold in the Google Group in general and Google Tech > Support in particular? > > * Why, if you are an employee of Google, do you use a Gmail email address > and not a google.com or google.inc one? > > * What exactly you are Webmaster of? > > * And why you need to ask "So as you use it the memory is slowly going > away?" in a thread entitled "Memory Leak in IE 7 using GWT" if you are > offering Tech Support?
