I couldn't agree with you more, Jeff.  But, I do
confess, I am glad to see that some of us still
have a sense of humour.  :-)

Well, and NOT that I'm condoning his action, at
least he didn't have a go at anybody by name...
<whew> But still, I agree he was wrong, in an
impersonal personal kind of way, which makes it
just as wrong as any other kind.  I am completely
with you Jeff here on this.

Probably every other airport in the world, every
major international stop, anyway.  No, I'll be
honest, I had pictures of the first class vs. no
class service and experience of an ICANN meeting
in mind.  I simply began to imagine that there
can/might be a great disparity between the way
some people may "enjoy" it.  (I wonder if anybody
flies economy and sleeps in a hostel?)  But,
life's only as good as you live it.  You and me
Jeff, I think we understand that Andy was just
venting, even though we agree he was wrong.  Every
one's here for the reading, not the hard
feelings.  

I second (or whatever it is that I'm doing),
Jeff's call for recognition of the ill-favoured,
and misbegotten nature of Andy's last email to the
List.  I am calling for Andy to apologize for
making me laugh, and offending certain other
unnamed individuals.  Andy, please consider
retracting your rather shocking and ill-considered
remarks, and offering apologies for your actions.

Earnestly,
