Aw, Chris! How about just a cooling off lock out instead of tossing Mike? Methinks you're being a bit hasty to show how egalitarian us uhmuricans kin be... because he generally "defended" an act or two of the USA. Or so it strikes me. Just a thought - you're the boss here, and no need to debate it.
Alain didn't need any help, as you point out - and he's still here, despite provocation. Bravo.
I think it's commendable of the entire forum that there has been so LITTLE diatribe about what nations do here.
Let's hear some more about Tom Brown's classes from those who have attended - I remain intrigued by that!
Regards,
Tom
