While placing no judgement either way on the course of this
conversation thusfar, I think it's important to point out
that English *is* Geir's second language, and perhaps the "f"
word isn't as loaded in his experience as it is in North
America? I went ahead and cut him some slack as soon as I
read it, considered it a gaffe and was pleased that most who
responded were gracious in so doing.
It might be helpful to bear the fact that English *is* a
second language for him in mind, though.
And now back to the discussion of the relative merits of the
work of Joseph Hansen...
All the Best-
Brian
