I hope you can substantiate this statement. Even though you put a
smiley at the end, I take offense to these types of messages on the
RB lists. It borders on slander.


I know we have completely lost our sense of humor in this country. I
didn't realize you guys had too.

No we haven't. But, as I just spent an agonizing three hour session at work listening to an HR speaker talk about sensitivity of individuals, I had to comment. Although I knew it was intended as a joke, I felt it was inappropriate for this list for the following reasons:

1. It was totally in poor taste to an honest response.

2. It might lead some people to believe that RS is using underhanded methods. I know this wasn't intended but, if someone took the comment seriously, it could.

3. It lowers the standards of responses on the lists. Take it off- list to Starion if you must. As Marcus stated, it's "gutter trash".

4. The lists are for passing information about REALbasic and, personally, I feel that this should be their focus. We get a bit OT from time to time but this response honestly offended me.

Respectfully yours,

Terry Ford
