Oh grow up.  And as for the reference to ignorance, perhaps it is
possible that he meant your seeming ignorance of the social niceties?

At most, I would have expected that Lars would have been asked -
politely, mind you - if his Microsoft Exchange problem was in any way
related to Linux.  And as he is an ILUG member of long standing, perhaps
the benefit of the doubt could have been given.

In summary, there was no need for all this crap.
