Hey J Geoff.

Honestly, I don't think the guy would have taken it personal or as an insult. If he did, sorry guy. Where I come from that term is used in an endearing fashion. If he really grew up in HK during the era he claimed to have been, he ain't going lose sleep over it.

In any event JGeoff, you can have at it with me all you like. I'm too old to be losing sleep over name calling by some kid I don't know. What does ass me up is you sticking your nose in something that has nothing to do with you and potentially instigating a conflict between myself and the Irisher. If you want to attack me, go ahead. Just don't use someone else as your lynch pin or excuse to get something off your chest. If HE has a problem with me addressing him that way then HE can address the issue. Not you. YOU can mind your own business.

Have a good one...
