I am not criticizing anyone's English (English is technically my second language as well). Not once did I use the phrase "bad English", although I certainly inferred it. It just kills me when someone's problem will have go unnoticed because the poster spelled Linux "linx", Satellite "atellite", and under "unser". My post started with "If you want responses, do this:", and _that_ was the intent of my post, to simply generate responses to a problem. Frankly, I have seen native speakers write just as incogently when in a rush. On 28 Sep 2001, Cliff Sarginson wrote:
I think it is a lot more than quite rude, it is disgusting. It is fine to ask people to try and format their messages better and use meaningful subject headers, but to criticise their english is just racist. I wonder how many foreign languages the complainant has mastered to the extent that he could pose a technical enquiry on a mailing list.
He should apologise.
I don't know if you missed this, but I responded to the first criticism of my post with "If I truly did sound rude, I apologize." If anyone still feels I was discourteous, please feel free to email me. I'd hate to have ill will against me on SLE, as I plan on staying here for a while. -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
