My point is that if there are less traffic jam, owning a car becomes interesting. I currently do not own a car because of traffic jams. Remove traffic jams and I'll buy one right away.

If you work in software it's important for you to understand these distinctions. That or you're just trolling. I can't decide.

You never know who is at the other end. In my case, I just felt it was inappropriate. But I could have been an insecure teenager and this comment could have hurt a lot.

You say that now but wouldn't you much rather pay a fraction of the cost of a car to own "part" of a car in a car-sharing program similar to NetJets?

What is inappropriate about Jason's comment?
