"Pissing off arises"

Ha! Another addition to the 'Great Quotes of the Ancient Masters" Hall of Fame.

Such a pleasure exchanging bits and pieces with you.

Pissing off arises, it's fine. Observations are not necessarily rules. One does try to write with some authority, as one was taught at university; so perhaps observations can sound like rules. Rule No. 1: there are no rules! Rule No. 2: ignore rule no. 1.
