Re: aio vp confusion again
Despite the subject line, this thread contains no technical content about AIO virtual processors. It is entirely a flame/etiquette argument: one poster complained that mild swearing in an earlier message was offensive, others disagreed, and the exchange degenerated into jokes, national stereotyping jibes and word-filter humour. It ends with regulars joking about missing Art Kagel's posts, and Kagel replying that he had simply been busy and was back. No technical problem is described and no resolution is recorded.

Certain swear words have a different amount of severity dependent on the Country and Culture they are used in. The particular work used is considered extremely vulgar and disgusting in England and as such I took exception to it's use. I'd hate to have to consider leaving a technical news list because certain individuals cannot curb their language when sending stuff to the International Community. All I'm asking is for common courtesy. Oh I forget some of you are Americans and probably don't know what courtesy is.

<Sigh> Good job Earle doesn't sit within earshot of my desk, he'd probably swoon on the carpet :o)) As my news server is still s..., oops faulty I didn't receive his original post and I'm still not sure my posts are arriving out there in the "real" world.

You mean like insulting anyone of a certain nationality. Would you please point out all of the Americans who are arguing with you over this topic?

In Capitals, too!! On behalf of other English people, can I apologise -- this guy is just clearly full of shit. Shit is most definitely not extremely vulgar and disgusting in any of the parts of England I've been to. Unless there's some shitty part where everyone is a shithead. >"Andrew Hamm" <ahamm@sanderson.net.au> wrote in message >news:3a6f6249$1@news.iprimus.com.au... >> Earle A Long wrote in message ... >> >If you use foul language in a posting don't count on getting many >replies. >> > >> Are you serious?

If only we could generate this much interest for informix discussions :)... Will P.S. Has anyone know if Mr. Kagel is still reading? I miss his commentary.

I took offence to the fact that he failed to use an apostrophe to denote the missing "i" in "servers".
Sorry guys. I've just been too busy to post. Heavy work, getting ready for the WAIUG training session I'm doing, and working on a book proposal. Looks like I'm back, though. Art S.
