Then don't. If I truly wanted to offend someone I would but that is not
my nature. If you find such things offensive (directed to you or not)
then I recommend you review your translation method.

I absolutely understand this and I totally respect you and the myriads
of other folks who make the effort to communicate here. Honestly. That
is why I say you must sometimes look behind the words and not take them
so exactly. It just isn't what is going on. And unfortunately Aussies
can be more direct than Europeans like <g>.

Geoff,

We learned that, if not, we would have set you all on blacklist <g>

Nevertheless, i feel sometimes the line between direct and rude is
crossed the wrong way, and a bit more concern to civility might be
appropriate.

Heiko,

Same expression in Dutch. And yes there are differences, but also a lot of
similarities happened to have trees of both of them. Name me one piece of
fruit that comes closes to an apple than a pear.

In my comparison the subscription idea is the similarity. You pay for
something and during a period you get it.

I do not want to sound like i had anything to do with this, but you will get
the Vulcan.NET, That was the deal and when do subscribed, nobody told you
would get updates of pre-beta version of Vulcan after ending your
subscription. That deal was (at least could be) clear at that time, so I
really do not see you have a point here.

So you do not want it and you do not need it. So what are you moaning about?
