What the bleep do you mean, "down"? The world's major English-speaking
nation, the current "home" of the language, is very, very far from
down! Three cheers for the red, white and blue!

Oh, sorry -- my Free Agent didn't automatically show where you're
posting from. Poor fellow...

Kio, diable, estas la senco de tiu "down"? La c^efa anglalingva nacio
de la mondo, la aktuala "hejmo" de la lingvo, tute ne estas
subig^inta! Tri huraojn por la rug^a-blanka-blua!

Ha, pardonu min -- mia Free Agent ne au^tomate montris vian
afis^ofonton. Kompatindulo...
