Dave, you already have one, from what I hear... :-)

Actually I'm not at *all* unhappy with that nickname, I'll wear it proudly.
After all, I *am* "goodhearted", I try to always expect the best from companies
and from people. How sad it must be to go around always expecting the worst.

What I'm *not* very impressed with, and what it was I mailed you about, is
characterising another possible explanation for events as a "lame excuse".
That's really not an accurate characterization, nor is it likely to move the
conversation forward usefully.

Because I wanted to keep it off the lists... I'm confused as to why you need to
reply to a private email publicly?

"Possible"? Oh come on. How about "unlikely"? Or "far-fetched"? Maybe "overly
optimistic"?
While your attitude helps stretching out a debate endlessly, it really isn't
helpful in the end. Please try to be realistic, occasionally at least. Being so
... stubbornly goodhearted can be offensive too. Someone else then believes you
offended his intellect, and on is the flame war!

"Confused" is the keyword here. See, Larry, if you check the message tree
carefully you'll find out I actually replied to David "insert cool nickname
here" K.'s message and, while I was on it, just mentioned your little problem in
one line or two, because it fit the topic. Well, not THE topic, which is still
Maersk, but the topic of our little quareling club. I suggest be better quit
here and now before we all get locked up for spamming ;)
However, it's not as if I spilled the beans about something confidential, right?
And please read Mark Jordan's "Press release" again. It's hilariously funny. I'm
still in tears. The funny-false-accent-thing is really old though. I always do
the same when reading David K.s posts aloud. I'd imagine my false canadian
accent is actually quite presentable ... :P

Since we are into German quotes, I have one for everyone....
"Der G'schedere gibt nach"
Gary istok
Loosely translated "the smarter one will let it go..."

Well, by all indications that would be me then.
Damn, you really know how to get me, Gerhard! ;)
Alright then:
Larry, since I couldn't stand another of your dreary emails anyway, I apologize
for having been so particularly nasty.
Let me conclude our business with a (hopefully) final german quote:
"Gut's Nächtle!"
