I'm going to add my voice to Pip's and especially Rog's. I envy
David's ability to get things done in a totally novel environment (I'm
also a recent dot convert, thank you, David) and I have little trouble
sympathising with David's queries, understanding that not everyone is
as comfortable with English idioms as the Bell Labs ex-convicts are.
As for those who have spent time on this list just to deplore David's
behaviour, I believe they should put a bit more effort, in a
considerably less anglocentric fashion, to understand where some of us
come from and what we are able to contribute.
It is a shame that I should waste more bandwidth to do this.
