hmmm... looking at these two guys, I should be proud that you think I'm Polish, pretty good for a kid from Delaware who has no Polish blood at all. What is strange is that a 2007 newbie thinks that -- I guess you may not remember that at various times during these ten years I've had the DE, NY locales and probably the most was the British flag during my 5 years stay there.. but oh, I guess if some folks can't defend their ant-Christian groups, they will then turn to what they think are personal attacks (but when it turns out to be wrong, it's just egg on their faces!)
