What on earth did I deserve such an answer for.
Shouldn't you mean "What NOT on earth ..." :-)

No in response to a suggestion by you to make Africa the predestined
continent I already put up a bid for bangkok. I treated you with
respect I like to be treated back with respect it could be my lack of
sleep but I am pretty pissed at SJ's answer especially in the light of
him being at the current wikimania organising committee I find him
ridiculing someone else's idea totally inappropriate and uncalled for.
In making a reference to Africa, I was certainly not aware that you had
already put in a bid for Bangkok. But even if I had known it would not
have prevented me from saying that in this very preliminary stage. Even
when I first raised such a possibility in Frankfort I had already
conceived of the possibility of an East Asian or Australian bid for
2007. Bangkok did not come to mind, but I have no objection to going
there in 2007.
I took SJ's comments in jest, and responded accordingly. No disrespect
was intended.
