Mike, I'll only respond to this which I felt was an undair or perfhaps misinterpreted response to me:
> I said that I found it a little harder to believe that >the Irish Americans were 'not savvy', or 'not >educated enough' to have heard of NORAID. This >is an insulting and stereotypical view of the Irish, as >is your use of 'naive' or 'soft-hearted' in other >places. How you can construe that to be "stereotypical and insulting" escapes me. I have no problem at all calling myself not savvy and educated enough about many subjects including this one. Calling someone "softhearted" I consider a compliment and high praise. Kakki
