Dear OP: Please do not think one xenophobe's jingoistic remarks are representative of the sensibilities of all nor even most of the people here. We in the CO forum are open-minded and reasonable folks. We realize others' opinions are as valid as ours. Feel free to speak your mind without fear of being ostracized (nor made to feel you're a malcontent) by anyone! Please participate in the CO forum. ^ We need more viewpoints, not less (as a few seem to want).

RNE, saying, "You owe the OP (and everyone in this forum) an apology."
