I'm sorry, but I've not wanted to go to the USA, even if someone else
was paying, because of this and I'm even not willing to go to the USA
Hamfest next May because I really, really, don't like the USA attitude.

Kate wants to go (again, she has been to Canada and the USA already) but
I am now even less inclined to go to the USA based upon the crass
stupidity shown in forums like this one from the US based subscribers.

We gotta pay for stopping the bombing of London somehow, considering
Europe never bothered to pay us back.

The whole post seems very un-time-nut-like, but it's interesting to
observe that the bad attitude of (some/all of us) crass Americans has
been able to teach you to respond in kind. Well done.

Huh?

Dave,

Your comments are both unwise, unnecessary, and downright rude to the many
members of this group.

As someone who was born in England, lived here all my life, but had the
great pleasure of working with US companies for many years and has many
friends in the US, I'm very disappointed that you feel you had to put what
you did in print.

I, very much, have to agree with Rob. There is no place on this group
