Chris!!

Lighten up and get a grip. There was nothing to be insulting over in that post.

Ben is a hell of a good guy and was being facetious in his comments. He's been on this list a long time and those of us that know him understand about his goofy ( as the Fish puts it) post, his English, and his French. What he wrote was really funny, if you take the time to get to know the guy and how he writes about stuff. I know exactly what he was talking about. I used to live among the Eskimo's of Alaska, and I know exactly how it feels to be the odd man out, trying to ask a question or get a point across.And yes, I definitely agree with David Broderick, Ben's English is definitely one hell of a lot better than my French. Heck, so far as conveying an idea, his English may be better than my English!!

Lighten up, will you!!
