   one member of this list, who was exchanging mails with me off-list)

   Hi Ed,
   If that is indeed the case, then I apologize for inferring that the original
   poster was looking to take work rather than offer their technical writing
   services.  My first read was that the original poster was pretty arrogant
   asking U.S. list members to send their customer contact information.  This
   just may be another case of someone using English as their second language
   and writing to people who use English as their first language and the
   problems that can arise in interpretation.
