Fred, You cannot just escape by saying that you disagree with my "views". First of all I was not quoting my "views" but historical facts, some out of the Wikipedia piece itself.
I'd like you to explain how Canada can be attacked and can claim to defeat the US at a time when there was no such thing as Canada, and the British proxy for Canada surrendered to the US after the Battle of Lake Erie. Finally, I'd like to know how you, as a moderator, are posting information that has nothing to do with Goa and Goans after lecturing us not to. Or, maybe that was Bosco who does the lecturing and interprets Goanet rules differently from the other moderators. --- "Frederick Noronha (FN)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mario, This is Wikipedia.
