I agree with what you say GazCaz.
Having read all the posts in this thread, time and again, I fail to see anything that would cause real offence, before the "digs" met with more serious replies.
As you say, the typed word can so easily be mis-interpretted.
So much depends on context and understanding the sender`s intent.
I have met Sharon, (co-incidentally, at the Mathraki Studios, about which this thread started), and the next year at the Akti Arilla Hotel, and, on both occasions, found Sharon to be excellent company, very friendly, and obviously a woman with a love of life and social intercourse.
I have not yet met Jo.
From several years of reading Jo`s post on this forum, I judge her to be a woman of good nature and also a lover of life.
I am sure that, should the two meet in Arillas, they would quickly become the best of friends.
Best wishes to all.
Geoffrey with a `G`.
