So was that.

I tried responding offlist (which you should have done), but since you
don't have a valid reply-to, I couldn't.

I wasn't being rude.  I asked a simple question.  He responded with
what, in HIS view I'm sure, was a perfectly non-instrusive response,
which would be widely construed (even by many overly pedantic types, 1
of which replied here) as an argumentative phrase.  I was only
informing him of that fact so in the future he would know.  Most
bi-lingual speakers I've I know like to know the idioms and vernacular
of their non-native tongue.

Reply to this if you like, I'm killfiling the thread (locally) so I
won't see it any longer; it's long since outlived its usefulness, and
I doubt my intentions can be adequately expressed over this medium.

Cheers
