Well, that thread turned real nasty, real quick, and I can blame no one but myself for that, as I was the one who started the thing in the first place.
I'd like to proffer additional apologies to the non-Americans posting on that board. I said some ugly things in a few of my posts, which were completely unjustified. I regret them deeply.

As one of the non-Americans who posted on that thread, I'd like to say "don't sweat it". While I did not read all of the other posts (I was posting in the mid-30s on the Sunday evening, then in the 140s on the Monday evening! Man, I've never seen a thread explode so fast!), I found that some of the more aggressive posts gave precisely the opposite message to that intended by their authors, so I took no offense.
And I think Lurch GS and I must have come close to setting a record for the longest posts, if not by sheer word number, then at least by paragraphs ...
