I think that you could have gone farther.Obviously the reason your post has notbeen removed this time is that it's within the new limits of politeness imposed by the ESL board.
What posters could get away with in earlier posts,they cannot get away with now.I think it's a change for the better.I'm sure you and the majority of board readers will agree with me on that one.
But maybe now, some bored readers feel board,or is it the other way round?
