-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello List, Clint, Gregory, thx for OFF TOPIC comment, by the way I'm from Poland. It was ironic, for fun or not, we can't say 'it's impossible'. I said "US located", cause M$ is located in US. This is possible in Poland/Germany and other countries too. Regards, Rafal Lesniak On Wed, 11 Feb 2004, Gregory A. Gilliss wrote:
WARNING TO LIST: OFF TOPIC! Clint, NOT cool ... remember, information should be free ;-) Next time, before you start calling names, how about considering the other person's perspective and ask yourself what *you* would think if you were half a planet away with different information resources? The poster states very clearly that he is not a native English speaker. The return address points to Germany. If you are well traveled, if you even own a passport (and only fifteen percent of Americans have one) then you would realize how completely different the perception of America is from *outside* the fish bowl. Between linguistic differences (the German language, for example, puts the verb at the end of the sentence, a la postfix notation) and the different perceptions other people receive of the United States in their news and other media, it should be no surprise to you that someone from another country might suppose that America has an unofficial government policy in place to facilitate this kind of behind-the-scenes hand holding. And just to make you *really* cringe, I can't prove it, but I believe he's correct. 'nuf said. There's already a perception of the "ugly American". Please don't behave in a manner to further reinforce that stereotype. Flames > /dev/null G -- Gregory A.
