::sigh:: So, my two thoughts: 1. Yeah, the French will be really insulted by our removing their name from a Belgian dish. Oh yeah. They're quakin'. 2. We're trying to out-petty the French? The French are the pettiest fuckers you ever will meet![1] They still want the national dateline moved to Paris! They have a government bureaucracy devoted to keeping foreign words out of common usage in Proper French! C'mon... [1] Nothing personal against French subscribers. I'm sure at least 30% of you are mostly reasonable people. More than that and you're beating out the US subscribers. -- gabriel rosenkoetter [EMAIL PROTECTED]
