Why should you apologise Mal? He's put the offensive word in print and has made offending people an art form, including me on two occasions.

I am absolutely sick of the crap that he and two or three others are contributing to this group. It is also cluttering up my inbox and I regularly receive emails from Optus about it.
If it keeps up then I'm out of here, joining others I know who have quit for the same reason.
