Referring to Great Britain that's entirely correct. However as a country code, GB is often used to refer to the whole UK, egs. Car plates, Team GB, and, of course this very list Talk-GB which very definitely does include NI. Fwiw, I don't think it's unreasonable to request that the discussion of NI specific issues is done separately from the discussion of a non-NI changeset. Nor does the fact that someone took umbrage at that request necessarily mean that the request itself was insensitive. Regards, Adam
