There is great wisdom knowing what to say, and greater wisdom knowing
when to say it.

Firstly, My condolences to the Mason family.
In my opinion it is very bad taste to use a threat announcing the
passing of a member of this list as a vehicle to parade ones mastery
of several languages and chastise others in there lack of mastery in
the use of language(s).
None of us follows this list to get language lectures. This is
IBM-Main a mainframe related discussion list made up of people from
all walks of life and most of them do not have english as their first
language. To make that assumption is arrogant and rude.
You are, of course, correct.
You are, of course, also bailing the ocean -- the pedants and
troublemakers on this list are beyond help.They often seem to want to
provoke others, and when challenged directly, step away. They're just
trolls.
Some of them also whine occasionally about being unable to find work.
There couldn't possibly be a connection between their behavior and that
problem, of course...
