Per;
Maybe you meant my cryptic comment about the 'cyber door hitting him'?
I meant not to imply any physical harm. I was paraphrasing an old
American expression. People usually use it jokingly. For example, when
they're sick of hearing someone complain tirelessly. Especially about
something which they obviously do not really understand. They want the
person to go away and leave them in peace. So they say "Don't let the
door hit you in the ass on the way out." IOW, take your complaints
elsewhere.
I was not hurt at all by Mr Es critique. Except for one or two real
issues of which we're all aware, most of what he said was either
unconsidered opinion, contrary to users' experience or just plain false.
As anyone who's used a 4 or 4T can testify. To me, it was almost
humorous. It was as if he'd gone into a store to buy a toaster, and
then saw a good deal on an iron. Then he gets home and writes a letter
to the iron manufacturer complaining that it's really inconvenient to
have to stand there moving the iron around on top of the bread to toast
it.
