Hrm, you seem to be incapable of properly attributing the appropriate
level of candour with my analogy.  I thought it was quite clear, and a
great analogy.

Ease off the Jolt Cola, Coffee, Red Bull or whatever got you out of bed
this afternoon and attempt to see my statement for what it was, which
was not worded nor intended to break into a discussion about the merit
of validity of any sexual connotations in any of my postings.

If you have something relative to e-mail and SPF to state please do so,
but leave the sexism crap back at the office or wherever that shit still
flies these days.

I should like to think that a woman intelligent enough to find her way
onto this list and discover my message would too have the faculties to
understand my implied message.

So for your benefit, and for all the ladies out there I love you all and
respect your position in this our modern society.  Please try not to
hate me for applying a sextrade related analogy to a software companies
possible behaviour.  

Is it hot in here or is it just me?

cheers,

James
