Ok, moderators, please remove this topic alltogether

Ronnie, probably it was wrong to express my frustration here. It's just sad if I won't get the computers because of a misunderstanding

All potential buyers: buy from Rklok with confidence, just don't buy if you plan to move in about a month or so. Ronnie have all the great wares and all the right prices. I'll buy from him again.

Bart: decency is a fairly strong word for a statement like yours. It's a market place, not some religion or some other nonsence. Both you and Sonic use strong statements where it's not really necessary. Is that a part of Netherland's culture? If you like a girl you've never seen before, do you say "I would die for you!" as your first words? A bit too heavy on drama, like in some silly anime crap...

Try to see it like this: we know perfectly how to express ourselves in Dutch, but when it comes to English some things can be misinterpreted because 'we have a good intention, nevertheless we don't really know what terms to use to express ourselves'. That is, we think we know, but it isn't always right.

Being Dutch, I suppose 'decency' is the right word said, but it might be a bit over-the-top in English. How would you call it?

yeah, in Dutch "decency" is not really that strong an expression. It's like saying: "you could have chosen not to do so, as that would be more polite". Or is "polite" too strong also?
