> It's an effective communication tool. He is using email, of all means of communication... far from effective and one of the narrowest communication channels. We are far from "effective" here - he was just venting his anger.

This is very far fetched armchair psychology but people driven _THAT_ incredibly much are usually not fueled by positive energy (alone). Together with the almost compulsive comparing to other people, sounds a lot like coping mechanisms for

In Germany you could easily end up paying that much for a single cash withdraw from your own German bank account if you end up using the "wrong" ATM... completely ridiculous and nothing but frakking with customers over bank account turf.

Being disruptive doesn't matter at all if you cannot remain solvent so looking at those numbers, they have got to be whXXXng themselves out to their investors.

A lot of what our governments do is based on theories and in this case they obviously decided to step in to protect their citizens. Just the same way, you cannot prove the opposite. De facto you can decide to trust the government you were v

I am saying that it can generally be considered normal and human to react to words. Which ones you react to and how is a whole different topic and will vary a lot depending on the person, context etc. Your point is nothing but spinning a fi

I have yet to work on a project where neither charsets nor line-endings ever pop-up and cause problems... seeing as it is 2011, this is an absolutely abysmal testimony for IT as a whole.
