Nick, this is indeed the root of the problem.
Eric emailed me directly and he thought you were calling him a dog. In reply I explained to Eric that your dog comment was just a figure of speech and could sometimes even be taken as a compliment.
However, by the time I could email Eric due to the time difference, he had already responded.
Hopefully that's nipped that one in the bud
Just as well we don't use many Aussie colloquialisms!
