For a grown up, you have the bull by the tail. It is very difficult to handle a grown up person when they are facing the facts from the wrong end.
Have you read what I wrote or have you just simply blundered in into this conversation with a set agenda in mind? [........]
Please spell out chapter and verse where I have "attacked" - for want of a better expression - Wolfgang's well recognised and appreciated work on Firefox?
Come on, grown-up person, show me where. You have undoubtedly succeeded in alienating those *most* able to help/answer you. Your tone and comments would be inappropriate in addressing a 10-year-old, let along an adult. You took a sledge hammer to a meeting with the school principle and found him carring a 9mm. :^) Arrogance might be present.....
Aaah, my old friend the Mail List Cop, Patrick :-) . Tell me, Luiz Fernando Ranghetti replied to my post by top posting his response and yet, while I know that this is one of your pet hates which makes you go into frenzied action, why didn't you you didn't question his naughty behaviour (which contradicts the rules and your own interpretation of those rules)? Selective about what you "get all stirred up about"? I can clearly see why you have no objections with what Lars said to me, "With kids I'm very, very tolerant. Honestly I don't know how to handle you best." and which is no way of an alienating nature to anyone. But, naturally, you are able to clearly see why I should not be alienated by what he said to me. But, then, that's the way your mind works - which is fine with me. Nevertheless I must thank you for your, as ever incisive, well thought out and unbiased, response.
