Well, let's see, it took about a week for Walter to self-destruct. He doesn't seem capable of keeping the discussion to calculators.

Need I remind you of what you (Germany) did to a whole lot of people during WW2?
Reported.
I take exception to your comment concerning the Second World War.
Whatever anyone else says, I expect a friendly tone. We're all members of this forum, here to help eachother.

Well, let's see. You only needed more than three months to read his post.

And I take exception to what Walter wrote. I would not characterize his words as a "friendly tone."

Three months or three minutes, what's the difference? Crap is crap.

It's you that started the timer...
Yeah, I didn't notice the date in Walter's post, obviously, so my "week to self-destruct" is wrong. But Walter's comments are as insulting now as they were three months ago, and had I noticed them then I would have made the same complaint. He takes every opportunity he can to put down the US, and I'm sick of seeing it. Now, if he has changed in the past three months, fine, and I welcome the change.
As admitted 3 months ago already, we are bad, bad people. Shame on us! (But if you'd like to open the box of history ways before my birth: Need I remind you of what you (USA) did to a whole lot of people during the so-called Indian wars? I'd suggest we better keep that box closed and continue striving for better behaviour in our time.)
So, for sake of progress of mankind, let's focus on calculators again and ask for news about "the book".

Hi Walter.

Nor do I, and in the past I have given my support to organizations trying to make sensible laws regarding guns, so I expect you and I have similar beliefs regarding that.
There is a lot wrong about the US, but there is a lot right about it as well. That's true for your country too. And probably most all countries.
No problem, Don. A forum is for critical discussions and international exchange, too. And neither "critical" nor "discussion" has any negative touch IMHO. If all people had the same opinion about everything, life would be boring and new ideas would be far harder to create.

Sorry I brought up that old post.

Don;
That was a gentlemanly act you did, to apologize because you had not noticed the date of that post you complained about and reported. You made an unintentional error. You were a man about it and owned up to it. That's all I'll remember. -db

Dennis:
That's nice you praise Don for the way we settled our little discussion. I concur it was a way which suits two adults. As mentioned elsewhere, I (still) believe in the power of good examples ...

(Just in case the above nudge isn't sufficient: please remember who supplied the model for that post far above. It's still accessible for primary school kids while far less choleric posts were edited quickly. I'd appreciate if you'd care of equity eventually.)
