yeah that would be it.  I don't know why I'm advertising my lack of 
basic knowledge in this forum and just reinforcing whatever pre-
existing opinions people may have had of me, but I guess I didn't 
realize quite how ignorant I was until I joined this group.  I spent 
high school studying for the purpose of passing tests in order to 
graduate and get into college, not for the purpose of actually 
LEARNING anything, and I suspect I'm not the only one.  Then 20 years 
later you vaguely remember taking a course in American history and 
realize all these names and events sound familiar but you can't 
remember what the people actually did or the significance of the 
events.  And don't get me started with British/European history.  
Britain has about 700 more years' worth of history to keep straight. 
The language may be more or less the same, but if you don't know who 
William and Mary were your branded as a foreigner immediately.
