1) Don't think that one person defines a country. By behaving like that you
are not doing yourself a favor.
2) Learn your ISO domain names properly, it's like geography... .BE isn't
French, it's Belgium.
3) You are calling him a child without knowing his age. He is mostlikely NOT
a child given the "myoffice" part of the address. If I were to make an
assumption from that part of the address, he's an adult using office
services of the Belgium Mobistar operator.
4) It's not a cuss phrase (just because you don't understand something
doesn't mean it's aggressive)... it's a vacation message which states "I am
currently absent from the office as well"... Which confirms point 3... not a
child, but an adult.

So you think the guy is a French child. You make a fool of yourself by
insulting a whole nation... and double that foolishness by insulting the
wrong nation... and tripple it by making unjustified assumptions on the
man's age. Finally, you fail to recognize a vacation message.

Methinks you deserve the stupidity award for the day.

Gilles (and yes, *I* am French, but you can't figure that out from my domain
name).
