Please don't be so eager to take offense when no disrespect was expressed or even remotely implied. (Post #32)

Please speak for yourself. Your statement of "us over here" includes neither me nor anyone I know. Post #33)

Jesus, pal, read your own writing. (P.S. No reply is required).

You might consider reading yours as well.

I hope you guys understand that it’s hard for us over here to get accurate info and opinions about what is going on over there. Your FReeper brother and sister over here will be counting on you guys to let us know what’s up.

You're entirely welcome to characterize yourself as being in need of anonymous internet posters to assist you in formulating your knowledge and opinion base, and in so doing contribute to the comic-book caricature that some Brits have of "us dumb, provincial Yanks" but I know no other Americans who "count on you guys" (internet posters) "to let us know what's up".  Although I'm interested in what Brits (and everyone else) online has to say,  I don't "find it hard to get accurate info" at all, because I have traveled extensively and have a multitude of British and other European friends that I visit and correspond with regularly.

What you say about yorself is entirely your affair, but when you take it upon yourself to speak for others, then you need to expect for others to have a reaction to what you say if you grossly mischaracterize them.
