Whoah there Peter! I think you are taking these postings a little too
seriously - "Xenophobic Rubbish" is way over the top. I know for sure that
all my postings are sent in a light hearted context and I get the impression
that most others post in a similar vein.
I am reminded of a good friend of mine from the world of aviation who,
having extracted himself from some minor disaster would dust himself down
and say "Well, if you can't take a joke, you shouldn't be flying these
things"!
Take it easy,
Barrie
