In case people wonder why I use "ciao"
it's a Canadian reaction to the
British Imperialist "cheers", used during drinks after executing
"native"
rebels, or a cricket match served by primitive colonials. You Yanks don't
have the resentment left that us Canucks have, but you're working hard to
replace the British in our resentments. And both my parents were born in the
Excited States before !900. Sorry for the politics but Americans forget they
are just one country not the world despite their footprint.

I invented saying "Cheers" at the end of my emails about 8 years ago and it
just caught on, sorry. I never use it after excuting a native rebel. I
agree this list is no place for politics, besides in a few years when
Canadians officially become North Americans the issue will be moot.
BTW I have nothing against Canadian's, and frequently at auctions even bid
on the Canadian lots (100A, 233A, etc.).
