I think your English is good. Even native speakers sometimes have difficulty detecting sarcasm[1], which is notoriously easy to overlook in written language. I'm quite sure Matthew was being sarcastic here, and was actually complimenting your behavior by "stating the opposite of the intended meaning" (as the Wikipedia article on sarcasm explains it). > PS: This Off-topic thread has been talked long and I'm sorry to bring > excess load to vim mailing list, please mail directly to me if any vimmer > friends wants to talk futher about it. Thanks. I continue to be impressed by the Vim mailing list. Contributors are helpful, willing to spend time answering in detail, and above all very polite. This is one of the nicest "top- versus bottom-posting" discussions I've seen on a mailing list :-) Michael Henry [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm
