Although Anselm asked not to revisit this topic, I cannot leave it with those last hurtful remarks. Let me be the first American to say, to Anselm, that duddbarron's was most insensitive and ignorant remark that I have heard. As an American, I am appalled and embarrassed that duddbarron would say this to you ("ugly American" does come to mind in describing him). Let me also say that duddbarron does not speak for any other American that I know. Secondly I would ask others who did not use their delete key and had to read the hurtful and spiteful ramblings of duddbarron, to please remember that we other Americans who use the server are not in any way, shape or form supportive of duddbarron. Anselm, as I have revisited this topic I fully expect and understand that I will be banned from the server for a month -- neither our friendship or my words justify special treatment. Happy dancing to all, and look forward to catching up at the end of October, Ralph Stoddard Maryland USA
