RE: [ga] Unfair?

Harald, I didn't intend to cut out any other country's or society's
perspective, or disregard it by my reference. I was responding to something
specific and so chose to reference the U.S. Constitution as a point of
reference. I think it's okay for us all to accept each other still as being
"nationals", isn't it, even when the medium we are referencing is global?

Sorry if I offended you personally. Not my intent.

Have a good holiday season. 

Best regards, Marilyn

please cut the americanisms.

When your forefathers fled the persecution in Europe, my forefathers stayed 
home and did something about it; both facts say nothing about the 
forefathers of our Asian participants (if any are left), and all of the 
above is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, dealing with the *global* 
Internet.

End of rant.
