[Franz Schönhofer]

Dear Dough and all those engaged or interested in this exchange of opinions,

Thank you so much for your signature "Doug (just having fun)" and your
previous post. I appreciate it and it shows that people on RADSAFE still are
open for some humour and putting things into perspective.

Thanks to everybody who gave me a lecture in English. I wrote that I am
always eager to learn. Of course I intended to write "reveal". Everybody on
RADSAFE should have a high enough IQ to find out that English is not my
mother tongue or probably understand that the ".at" at the end of my e-mail
address stands for Austria which should not be confused with Australia.
T-shirts are sold in Vienna to tourists with the slogan "Austria, No
Cangaroos".

I do not understand how somebody can find out about "nature of the authors
of books" by reading them (Bob Gallagher), but if you would refer to books
for which I have been a co-editor you could easily find out that I am an
expert in LSC. Quite interesting (and "revealing") that according to my
stored RADSAFE mails Bob Gallagher hardly participates in RADSAFE technical
discussions, except one a few years ago where he stated that the
introduction of SI-Units in the USA is not necessary, because people in the
USA are used to the pCi, mCi, MCi etc. What a point of view!


Syd Levine: The group might be interested into the reliability of a person
who has weeks or even months before his travel made appointments with me and
has not even bothered to cancel them, but only wrote an e-mail weeks after
that event. I think that reliability of a company is a big factor in
deciding which services to order. Regarding my English - see my above
comments. I am well aware that I am not a native English speaker as you
should know, but I would wish you that you spoke half as well German as I
speak German, English, Swedish and French. 
    
Finally I refer to the comment of Sandy Perle on my message, which reads
"the all important country of Namibia". I think that it does not need a
native speaker to understand that this is a very humiliating comment on a
developing country. 

Please send any flames to my private address, unless you feel your flaming
will gain you extra values at your job. 

Best wishes

Franz

Yeah1 I thought of this alternative spelling, but given Franz's general 
amiable tone in posts, I thought that "reviled" might be a little 
negative......
