You should not be upset, Andy, as there was nothing negative in the way you
introduced that video.

Sometimes, in cross-cultural settings, a phrase or two can translate in
unexpected ways.  But that's a small price to pay, compared to the much
larger benefits of an international community.

Happily, everyone is back on the same page now.  So keep your head high.
