Hey!  Does this have to get nationalist?  *I* don't think either 
behavior would be particularly "American".  :-/

I know my country hasn't exactly been "winning friends and
influencing people" lately, but really.

I'm sorry you get mail like that, Magnus -- I hope it doesn't
discourage you. It's really stupid that people think they have
a right to benefit from others' free labor -- so much that they
can insult and abuse people if they don't see the end result.

And if anigui hasn't come together fast enough, it's as much
because of those of us who are being lame-assed slow about
doing our bit.  For which I apologize, BTW. :blush:

Did you actually know this guy? Or was this just a random troll?

Also -- I always assumed Magnus was European.  *Is* he American?

Cheers,
Terry
