Huh? Hardly. Or do you mean on this topic? My email periodically
changes, but the name has always been the same.

Take a look at the other ng - perhaps my comments will make more sense.
Oh and this is not a US vs UK or indeed anywhere thing - more of a
broad brush comment on the way in which the vocal, and sometimes
inarticulate minority of posters on here sound.

Then what does their nationality have to do with it? And why will you
not be buying US turners work? What did the individuals do to you? I
have read (and read) both NGs. There have been some blunt, but IMO
correct responses, there have been some rude ones, there have been some
very helpful nice ones. All in all, a pretty good score for usenet.

Yet, I still fail what nationality (which you bring into it) has to do
with anything. Posters here do not represent their countries; even
statistically speaking, they are a very narrow cross section of society.
And their country of origin does not determine their attitude.
