Can we drop the GofNY reference?

I dropped the reference in jest the other day because I saw you were from NY and went out on a limb that you might be Irish--wonder if we are related... What county?

Can we drop the GofNY reference?

Sorry we can't. You appear to have no other source of knowledge of the Irish Immigration experience. And of course we are related. We all came from Africa originally. I love the fact that I have an Irish heritage among other things, but I am an AMERICAN. I have more in common with Clarence Thomas than Bertie Ahern.
