People, understand: This is a multinational list...People of all nations, languages, colors, social and monetary level, costumes, etc...People are all different, and even if equal, sometimes they wake up in a bad day. Ok, some people seems to wake up in bad days EVERYDAY. I'm one of these, I'm not polite nor educated, at least when I'm not watching myself (yes, being rude and sarcastic all the times is a pain in the backdoor, you know that). But I think Olin is a great guy and has the defect of everyone with too much knowledge and too much things to do - the social part is a bit "impaired", to be polite he he he (oh God, here I am being sarcastic...see how hard it is?). Why not forgive him for the bad day, and everyone come back to the knowledge share that is common in this list? A verbal (written?) offence can start a fight...But only if the other part gets offended by the words. Offence is a matter of accepting what the other said.
