Thank you, Chris. This is what we needed, to finally draw a line
under this.

No, I did think that was a rather improbable claim.

I don't understand; I do not `own' you, and never have.

I didn't say that. You are younger, and likely more impetuous than I,
and you could probably benefit from learning some humility, but I am
sure that you do have strengths which I lack, just as I will be
stronger than you, in other respects.

I sincerely wish you the best in your studies, and in the examinations
in which they will culminate; substitute chemistry for ICT, and you
have the subjects I myself studied for my own A-Levels, 36 years ago.

Given your subject choice for study, it seems likely that you will one
day seek professional employment. I would strongly recommend that
you change this attitude, for prospective employers will not be
impressed by poor communications skills, of which a careless attitude
to spelling is a certain give-away. Use a spell checker. If your
e-mail client doesn't support one, find a better client; (KMail does
it for me, although its insistence on American English spelling is
rather irritating).

I find it rather sad that some people seem to think offensiveness
might be considered amusing. The distinction is something which you
apparently still need to learn.
Regards,
Keith.
