when did I do that ?
note the word "quasi"
And it was a light jibe taken too seriously
I have no problem with such terms of endearment, I don't consider them necessarily racist, a bit abusive, maybe
It's like calling USAians "Septics" or the krauts calling us "inselaffen"
I seldom err on the side of being too PC
It does. Knowledge isn't a conserved quantity. The more we share it, the more there is in circulation. More sharing doesn't "consume" the knowledge, and it even encourages others to share their own.

Sometimes comments on Usenet should not be taken literally or at face value.
If you had looked at a selection of Geoff's earlier posts, you would easily discover that this is a tongue in cheek comment.
Tongue a bit too well hidden in cheek maybe?
I'd noticed ;-)
yeah, I think I understood that :)
I'm afraid it did. Read some of his past posts.

Not really a very racist CV, is it ?
