? I'm confused with  your wording as I said, I was asked to change mail
format and I did. Generally I just insert under the original comments so
I dont see what the problem is?

So are you saying its OK to vent your spleen? in which case why are you
having a go at me?

No No No I take issue with that accusation I used that specific term
once, one week after joining, last year. In the meantime others have
used it as a friendly dig at me which I take in the humorous manner I
hope it was meant.

I have no wish to be expelled I have tried to show my efforts to comply
I have asked people to explain in a clear manner, remember its not just
me who reads this stuff others do too, its easy to forget how to explain
things when you know what your doing.

The way I see it there is only two issues
1. Trimming. OK, I didn't have a problem with it any way, others, ie
Sparkes, made out I did. But I can cut them down not a problem.

2. Signature. This morning was the first I've heard of it and as far as
I'm concerned in a foulmouthed manner as well. I tried to comply but
just got a sarcastic response but I suppose thats my fault too?
