Paul, you should apologize, instead we get this?  Perhaps you should
have spent another 1/2 hour on getting your posting right.  Or done
something really big and read some history and spared us your tripe.

"Ruffled feathers" implies that those of us who were offended were
petty.  (btw, I hadn't responded to you.  I did send email to the
Aussie saying something to the effect of "right, but we're not all that
dim witted.)

Some people have an emotional need to offend large groups of people,
perhaps you are one of them.  I suggest that you seek professional 
psychological care.  You may feel better, and we might benefit as well.
