I'm neither entitled to such an opinion nor do I have one. I'll shake your hand in Chicago as easily as any. It is the sniping out at the people who are serious about going that's annoying.

Yes, it's good that you occasionally stray on topic. As was suggested, the balance of your debate could (should?) easily have been handled privately to save the rest of us the trouble of checking updates only to read more off-topic nonsense.

The sheer volume of your submissions leads me to believe you know very well that in general; Americans lack the good manners of Europeans. This, however, has not been evident on the last several pages of this thread. One might check his own color before accusing the kettle of being black.
ps. I will not assist you in derailing this thread any further than I already have.
