Oh, I agree that many people here do indeed know Canada rather well. You and Gort certainly have strong Canadian connections, and I'm sure there are others. Indeed, I have very strong US connections (the other half my family) as well.

No, my point is Canadians do have somewhat of a bad reputation at this forum. I remember being 'welcomed' to USPO as the 1st non-American-hating Canadian poster many Americans had ever seen here.

Thus, if it was a poll of the best country in the world, held at USPO, you know Canada wouldn't win it. That was my point of reference to USPO.

As far as I understand the matter, Danny would welcome you to do so.

Unless of course you acted like that dcoltonbrown character, then maybe you'd be received the same way he was - there or here - suitable for banning.

True, but still, the ONLY reason the drunk knows it is true is because people keep telling him. If everyone chose to be polite and consider his feelings, no one would ever tell him and he'll go on thinking he's the life of everyone's party...
