Whoa!! Lighten up!! Are you truly unable to understand a little
tongue-in-cheek?? Oooo, so Rich forgot the appropriate emoticon. So sue
him! Geez! The nature of his remark was pretty obvious to the rest of us
(many of whom, as I'm sure you've noticed, are Canadian).
(BTW, *your* remark precisely matches, and therefore fuels, the stereotypes
many here in the States have of foreigners being rude, arrogant,
holier-than-thou snobs.)
