(putting on the verbal bomb squad suit...)
Ok, this "fuss" can be interpreted as a "bad" thing, or a good thing. Guess you
just have to know Ross... Frankly, after reading the posts on those links, I
couldn't see anything but praise (maybe the word "fuss" was more of a tip of the
hat to the amount of praise given all around on those posts). Granted, I do a
bit of work with Australia, and I'll just say "politically correct" for the most
part (or those I worked with), isn't in their vocabulary (thank goodness!).
Might be one of the reasons why I like them so much, but I digress.

Don't think it's so much mocking as Rosco is having a bit of fun with John,
giving him a little friendly tease... "fuss" isn't always bad...

Didn't seem that way to me. This type of thing above is when the non-spoken
language meshes with the spoken language--and sometimes doesn't work.
Sometimes, verbal things said jokingly with a bit of a wink and a nudge just
don't have the same feeling as they do when spoken. Holds true for those that
speak the same language--and those that don't.
There are times when I want to post, but I just can't get the tone right of what
I've written...rather than post as is, and deal with whats to come
later,realizing it may be interpreted wrong, I just delete what I've written.
Sometimes it's better to keep quiet a little while longer than just sounding off
and potentially damaging the thread.
