You'll have to excuse Ian -- we suspect he may be British.

Xavier is no relation to me...

Xavier, when someone posts that they have a memory leak, and then you
ask them to confirm that memory seems to be disappearing with
continued usage, then you are being a pillock, whatever that is. Do
you get it?

Isaac, maybe this is also a British thing, but to me, someone who doesn't know me apologising on my behalf for something I did deliberately appears patronising.
 
Xavier.
 
May I ask
 
 * Why you refer to the members of this group as 'clients' of (presumably) "Google Group Client Based Tech Support"?
 
 * What position do you hold in the Google Group in general and Google Tech Support in particular?
 
 * Why, if you are an employee of Google, do you use a Gmail email address and not a google.com or google.inc one?
 
 * What exactly you are Webmaster of?
 
 * And why you need to ask "So as you use it the memory is slowly going away?" in a thread entitled "Memory Leak in IE 7 using GWT" if you are offering Tech Support? (BTW, walden, just seen your reply, so I'm not actually repeating what you said as such, just not editing it out :-)

 * Since you have never answered a post (or posted to this group before, for that matter), what is the reason for this first post anyway?

Just for clarification. 'pillock' is pretty much the same thing as 'wazzock' - i.e. very much like 'numpty' but without the excuse of ignorance..

Ian,

I sincerely apologize for offending you. It was not my intention at
all. I assumed from Xavier's response that he was not familiar with
the pejorative you used and I was attempting to provide the definition
in a humorous context while alluding to the fact that it was a British
slang term. I do not believe that your actions required a genuine
apology and I was not attempting to provide such.

For the record, I have no beef with the British. While none of my best
friends are British (as far as I know), at least half of dozen of my
favorite comedians are.

- Isaac

Hi Isaac,
 
Thanks for that.
 
Also for the record, I wasn't offended, just pointing out how it might appear.

WOW

1. Ok first i am a student at a high school (Hill Crest) and i am taking Classes Online (Computer Science). Right now one of our insturtor are employees of google......he has us doing some lame projects but at the same time i know why he has us doing them i think it is so that he can sort out those who have the qualifications to be future Tech Support Agents from those who are waisting his time! So there are about ten of us who have been selected for this advance class to work as google "Tech Support Agents". This is not an offical title for us but we must do this for about 2years before we can really have this title!

2. Position: Well my class is a client base class which means that What ever the Client needs we have to be able to help them BASED on what they need. (I am new to all of this myself forgive me if this is complicated) So lets say that you are in a group with marketing then i have to be able to assist you with marketing. 

3. Because i was approve to have this title and i am a student i guess and not an employee of google that is why i am using gmail. Plus my class is required to have a gmail account (Teacher says it the rules but other say that it is BS).

4. Web-master (I am new to this also) I work with C++ etc...Site Builder....Web Pages etc... Hacker Base info (that is a class in itself i just started it is very complex and keeps me perplexed) LOL And i basicly do everything you can do on the web from web sites to search engines) PHP is the hardest thing for me i am really haveing a hard time understanding it!

5. That was a mistake one which i think my professor will see and i may lose some points but i am not worried because as of yesturday when i took on three new groups to do the Tech.S with i became top of my class (It is a total of like 57 of us)

If we succeed with this we can move on and become paid Google Employees....we get paid now but just in a weird way! 

I hope this cleared the air! But i still have over 200 e-mails that i have to get to. 

GOOD DAY

XAVIER MATHEWS

Hi,
Why do you spam with uppercase thread title?
I think you skip some lessons at school...
