Actually, it was worse than you think. I lived in (dare I say it) North
York.

Go for Promiscuity. Switzerland is a very small country, and the three
(it's actually four -> Romansch) communities all live with a very small
geographic area. One shouldn't minimize this factor... That's my
opinion. But if you want more of it, I think Switzerland is actually
quite a strange country. The people there are not that tolerant of
foreigners, and its legendary neutrality can be seen in many lights, not
all of them flattering (i.e. WWII). Plus, everyone knows that's where
the Gnomes of Zurich pull their strings from :-) I'd rather go with the
Servants of Cthulhu...

Well, cross-posting does have its advantages. It would be good, though,
that those people in cross-posted groups that don't want to keep on
receiving this thread said so in a small message, so we can remove it
from the header.
