Crab,
Your powers of deduction are as strong as your reasoning. You have been posting here for a long time, and I have read a lot of our comments in the past and agreed with them, but now I am seeing you in another light.
It shouldn't matter whether or not I am Irish, how are you so sure Jinglejim would have apologised if he thought I was Irish, maybe he would have just have had another dig. In my experience most helicopter pilots hate when people quote meaningless statistics, your 99% is about as creative as they get.
I am Irish, I took offence, and so I took him to task. You seem to think that I should have posted a copy of my passport to prove my heritage in order to get an this guy to apologise.
It is nice to know that you are out there fighting the corner for small minded people, keep it up, you are doing a fine job!
Now let the matter rest, unless you or jinglejim want to apologise to the 1% that find you both reprehensible.
