Re: John Atkinson

Hmm, I'll jump in for both sides here. (And rather like the UN, 
probably get shot at by both).

John tends to speak right off the top of his head (don't say it's 
another orifice, please ;) He doesn't mean to be offensive, and has 
said as much several times. He sometimes comes across as rude, 
patronising, condescending, etc. (Well, you do John ;)

Just understand that, take it with a pinch of salt. Assume the best 
rather than the worst when he 'talks' here. A lot can be 
misinterpreted via an ascii only medium.

Perhaps an extra line in his sig 
-
I'm not as offensive as I might seem ;)
-

Everyone, take a deep breath, kick the dog (OHNO, don't flame me over 
that!) erm... cat... erm inanimate object.

Anyway.. you get the picture... life is too short, and cut down on 
the coffee.
