"In the end, your technical team had followed an earlier suggestion from us which resolved the issue. Had they attempted the suggested fix earlier within the time frame of our troubleshooting, the content would not have been lost.

Retards,"

Yes, "retards" and not "regards"..
I inadvertantly called a pair of network admins "retards" to their supervisor causing him to write my supervisor...

I should be mad but I'm laughing too hard.

Something like that happened to me when working on a pharma plant. We had to send a handshake email telling about any situations that happened an so on.

Well We ALWAYS ended the email with this:

"No more relevant issues during my shift"

well I omitted the F, so it went like this

"No more relevant issues during my shi*t" :D

an angry email followed.....

You mean someone couldn't decipher that as a typo and actually got offended to the point of lodging a complaint? You've got to be kidding. That's pretty pathetic.

Proof reading FAIL! (sorry I am too lazy to go find some fancy schmanzy fail pic)

That's funny. Obviously in hind site we are quite lucky that this thread was resurrected from the dead. One little missing "r" has supplied a lot of humor.

I guess you guys didn't quite realise that it was intended, and otherwise known as a pun... so it would be more like WIN!

understanding British humour... FAIL:rollno:

hahahahaha now that is funny!

And that is why I rarely use the internet to communicate subtleties. I just assume most people are as dense as me and wouldn't get it. Lowest common denominator and all that.

But I do get Monty Python....does that count? :hmm:

for a typo.
Background - I had been dealing via email with a large client company's network admins, who had been experiencing a multitude of technical issues with one of our products. I had been explaining to them for a week and a half that it's actually a misconfiguration on their side and was not something I/we could fix. I was 100% right. In fact, I went out on a limb and pointed out exactly where the problem was and how to fix it...still they blamed me, blamed the product...when suddenly, I guess in an act of pure desperation, they did what I had suggested and -voila- The issue is fixed.
I was asked to email a "post-mortem" of what transpired to their supervisor.
My last sentence of that email:

"In the end, your technical team had followed an earlier suggestion from us which resolved the issue. Had they attempted the suggested fix earlier within the time frame of our troubleshooting, the content would not have been lost.

You are not the only one laughing! I was almost rolling on the floor!

And I hope your supervisor(s) understand how easy it is to strike the "T" when aiming for the "G".... That is also why one should try to read every word of something typed, as spell checker will not catch that error.

Though there could be those who'd argue it was not a typo but a Freudian slip.....
:D
