Then it's a win-win. This subthread will cure any ignorance, and when it
comes to a pissing contest I hold my own.
You probably know this, tom, but "taking the piss" is not an idiom in the
U.S., although I'm familiar with the expression thanks to a non-parochial
upbringing, and "taking a piss" has a rather different meaning. Either way, I
reckon your phrase applies.
Simply pointing Frank at Google instead of giving him that extra inch was
rather pissy, too, and I notice that besides that you also lampooned his txtspeek.
Regardless, I'm finding Sun's documentation on SNMP at
<
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/management/snmp.html>
to be a real find, not just for that chapter but the whole document. I'm
grateful to Frank for opening the question so that I could Google and find
that answer. What a pisser.
I'll piss off, now.
