I never thought I'd be saying this, Tim, but I think you really
misunderstood my meaning. I used the term "Colonials" in a sort of
smartass attempt to beat Scottie to the punch. I don't feel inferior to
the British at all, nor superior--and by the same token, I don't believe
any locality lends any individual or group of individuals any higher
place than anyone else on earth. My use of the silly term was just a
very convoluted, sarcastic way of sort of lampooning Scottie's famous
sarcasm.
I'm not sure this post makes any more sense than the one you quoted,
but...well, there you are.
Brendan
