Excuse me, I've spoken to the original poster of this message and my reply
seemed to make perfect sense.

I didn't change the subject, I left it as the original.

Have YOU ever heard of frigging politeness? Your message came across has
rude and blunt. If you have nothing good to say, go and twiddle your thumbs
elsewhere. My reply was in context (sure it was hurriedly written but I
don't have as much time as some other useless people).

Don't bother replying, and I don't care what you have or haven't had to eat
or drink. Here ends my subscription to this list.
