I thought so too but in effect it just cost me a load of time making the effort and getting nowhere. > I don't think the OOoTeam > people are stupid and they can certainly agree on some marketing actions > in the UK. So far they have no mechanism for even publishing accounts and this was pointed out over a year ago. > Well, first of all, it's interesting to refer to the Welsh, the Scottish > and the English as being of different *races*. Very interesting indeed. Semantics apart. I think you will find a lot of the natives of these countries see themselves as such - of course it depends on how you want to define race but these are separate countries with separate devolved governance and different cultural heritages to preserve. They are not English - go to a soccer match in Glasgow and tell the first person you meet they are English and see how long your teeth stay in place. > Second, the NLC is about representing every language except english, Quite the point I was making. I'm disenfranchised. Don't confuse England or English with the USA and US English and associated culture either. Popular mistake at the moment but some of us respect our cultural heritage. > so > I'm a bit covered up here, I think you are skating on thin ice. > and third, I was just joking.
