Hi Mike, always glad to entertain my readers. Don’t worry about not understanding some of the technical elements, it’s quite understandable. Perhaps I should try to elaborate a bit more when I use technical terminology. I sometimes assume that people know what I mean, I’ll try to do more descriptions of the terminology I use in future.

This post kept me entertained for ages – though I understood very little of the content!

Hey Penguin/ Hi Matthew (the show gets better BTW),

Seems to me that someone tried to be clever, and got hopelessly caught out.

As for the “Cheap F___” line.

I think it was a throwaway insult from someone who knows very little about these things.

Nice snooping Penguin .

Fair’s fair, Gareth. You did use the phrase ‘the miserable little Prick from Prague’ so it is an easy mistake for Mr Fisher to make when he thought you were referring to him. Although Prague is a big place and Dominic should realise there are probably other miserable little pricks sharing the City with him.

As someone who works full time for an open source software company, I would love to go into great detail explaining just how ridiculously wrong it is to call someone “cheap” for using free/open source software.

However, I’m sure I’d be wasting my time.
