Stephen,
1.) Why are you apologizing, unless you, yourself, said something improper?
2.) It makes no difference to me if there are some Russians present, their
presence or absence does not alter the objective facts that I presented.
3.) If your friend from Siberia is present, I doubt that she cares much.
Although PC hand-wringing has taken over North America, I'd be real surprised
if its taken root in Siberia.
4.) Since you told me, Stephen, that I could draw no conclusions until I
had taught a significant proportion of the 460 million Russians currently
on earth, your self-flagellating apology is just as premature as my supposedly
premature conclusions.
