Some of us don't always have the time to go back and read every post in a thread, especially very long threads as this one. > I'm from Eastern European country.

You seem offended by my descriptive use of "Soviet Bloc". Note that there are Brits who still call the US "the colonies" due to a cultural perspective. Those colonies haven't existed for 200 years. There are likely Pols still alive today that refer to Vilnius as if it were still part of Poland, even though they know it's not. There are American WWII veterans who still call the Japanese the enemy, even though they've been a military ally and huge trading partner for 60 years. Don't be so quick to take offense to other people's perspectives or the descriptive terms they use, especially foreigners on the other side of two oceans from you, when you can't and don't know they are intending offense, because they likely are not. -- Stan
