Likewise Melchior cares about getting the best possible FG code outta volonteers like yourself, which is not much different from his professional life AFAIKI. That said, the language, tone and humor is waaay more caustic anywhere I have done .mil service than in "civilian life", simply because of the tradition and the purpose it serves. ..I guess we might wanna think a little bit about how we are heard and understood, I suspect you Martin has taken offense of words that was never meant harshly, simply because you're a good civilised civilian and guessing you saw no point in volonteering in anything made obsolete by peace and die Mauer Weg in the early 1990-ies. ..this experience alone gives you a different enough perspective to hear our Austrian military friend writing in english, differently _enough_ to take offense of _how_you_hear_him_, rather than on what he _says_, which means you guys don't understand each other the way you should, and you guys should fix that, because FG needs you both, IMHO. ..me, having tired of a leeenghty OT "NGO-style" political discussion on how-baaad-things-go-in-the-world over at the gasification list, I did a _big_ snip and got a little (too?) caustic myself: ;o) On Fri, 31 Mar 2006 00:12:41 +0200, Arnt wrote in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Wed, 29 Mar 2006 22:20:08 -0800, Mark wrote in message > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > We depend upon the scientific method for nearly all processes except > > religion, prejudice, Luddite-ism and dumb luck.
