Your tone was a little strong, and could be interpreted as insulting.
Charles Forsyth has a tendancy to say things in what is, I imagine, a
rather ``British'' way. To our untrained and (mostly) American eyes
and ears, this might come across as rude, but I don't think it's meant
that way; I'd guess that it's just a cultural difference.
In other words, I think you're taking exception to something which is
entirely innocent.

That's just uncalled for. Honestly, your sig is pretty long (whatever
happened to 4 lines as the rule of thumb for max length?), and
statements like these just reduce your credibility.
