no. only citizens of the united states and canada consider mexico to be part of north america. mexicans consider north america to begin at the rio bravo where the united states start. they consider mexico to be either part of mesoamerica or simply to be mexico. mexicans refer to americans and canadians as 'norteamericanos' explicitly identifying it as a difference. the 'NAFTA' (north american free trade agreement) in english is simply the 'Tratado de Libre Commercio' (Free Trade Agreement) in spanish. this is not to say that mexico can't be more included in nanog activities in the future, but simply to point out this difference in perception. please resume all other quibbling. :-) t. > > -- > Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - j...@impulse.net > Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ > Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV > > _______________________________________________ > Nanog-futures mailing list > Nanog-futures@nanog.org > https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures >
