[1a] Mexico is part of North America so that doesn't count as outside.
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. :-)
