John,
It was not polite to make the comment "Corrections sent to inv@peeron again are
not getting posted. It has been a bit since they did a few.". The reason it
isn't polite is because it is a) unneccesary and b) expectant as the implication
of those two sentences is that they SHOULD be getting posted,

I realise you're dense as all hell when it comes to the internet but would you
kindly realise this and stop bandying around accusations of who sent you the
pictures. I find it unlikely in the utmost that it was Dave and I know it wasn't
me (who you've previously accused).

Answered above. To be more general about it your behaviour goes as follows:
1) Write a comment about how the inventories at Peeron are incorrect and that
you have corrected them and they are not up immediately after you sent the
correction
2) When someone explains why this is so you go on a rant about how you are
utterly thorough and work towards perfection and you expect this from everyone.
This is rude because a) It implies expectation that people should be at your
beck and call for updating the inventories and b) it implies that not only are
people not as thorough as you but they are making no effort to do so (even
though people have explained ad nauseum why this is not true).
Do you understand now?

Explained above.

You do demand things and you do accuse things. I really find it so hard to
fathom how you can be so thick as not to recognise this.

Ahhh the famous Patterson wit comes on show again. The only person "spring
loaded to the pissed off position" around here at the moment is you.
Unfortunately you're too thick to realise it.
If the messenger is rude to the king, the king will kill the messenger. Surely
your army background should have at least taught you that. If something has gone
wrong and it's the fault of your superior officer do you rudely accuse them of
it and expect to get away with it?
If you still don't understand then I give up. It's remarkably like getting water
from a stone.
