It was still rude, in my humble opinion, Thank you... I think that's what most people were waiting for you to acknowledge.. but there is a real difference between "be quiet" and "shut up", in both languages. Again.. it depends on context, the subject matter, and the presumed status of the speaker and the listener... If I tell someone they missed an opportunity not to post a comment about something on this board, that's the equivalent of my suggesting the should have shut up.. It just sounds more polite. I don't know what you are trying to argue, Hawk I believe many of us were thinking the same of you on this issue.. Hawk@it'snotwhatwesaythatcounts,butwhatothersunderstandustosay.commo
