As a sub mariner I m sure you are quite aware what over and out means However your request is very polite and entirely reasonable so it would seem both very impolite and very unreasonable not to reply and hence I had intended to respond usefully But Mr Beestra has taken on the role of divine retribution and dramatically interferred I hope you won t be offended if I don t reply right now In very brief summary I had intended to say something to the effect that your knowledge in the area is thorough and reliable However your manner is somewhat abbrasive in my personally admitted completely biassed opinion It ain t what you do it s the way that you do it Any further response would almost certainly lead to me making comments about Mr Beestra s objectivity so I won t continue My closing comment would be Please keep up the good work but take off your hobnail boots and replace them with soft slippers Best wishes
