Don't tell me that I, a Dutch speaker, have to teach English to a native
English speaker? The phrase "be my guest" is an idiom. It's a polite way
to indicate that you give someone permission to do something. In this
particular case I meant that I encourage you to do exactly what you wrote:
"I would add some steps to the procedure that Jordon posted". "Be my
guest" was meant as a polite way of saying "please send a reply with the
additional steps that you refer to, so that all on the list may benefit
from your knowledge."
Sharing is caring.
