A good example of this is e.g. the Army, where one is cut-off from the
outside world. It does not matter to a rookie if the sergeant is six
years younger than he is, because what matters is the extent of
one's experience in the Army, not in the outside world.

--[small .sig snip]-- :-)
Yes you do have the right to offend anyone, though I was not offended I
was thinking of appending in any way, and no I didn't think of people
paying for e-mail because I pay for mine and have no problems with
space(my assumption at your point)
and if your not more careful people are going to think you are truly
angry with them--unless of course you are a mister angry pants :-)
