I have no problem with you not being able to spell. I just think it is unwise to
be unable to spell and to call someone thick.

So because you had a problem with some hooks from a Chinese company you now
believe that all production in China (and the Czech Republic) is poor? I would
call that gross stereotyping which is a form of racist behaviour when it applies
to a country or nationality. Not neccesarily bad per se but in your original
email I would say it came across as somewhat racist.
To make sure I'm being perfectly clear about it I'm not calling you a racist, I
don't know you enough to call you a racist. I am however saying your email was
somewhat racist in tone.

If posting from the web you need to set posting to FTX and do <<url-of-image>>
(eg. <<http://news.lugnet.com/news/icon-home.gif>> will put the lugnet logo in).
Not sure if you can do it from a newsgroup browser.
