Thanks Pedro.. and Fencer, i apologize if it seemed i over-reacted to your statement. I get a bit defensive when cultural issues come into the picture, simply because of the situation that i have here at home. It irritates me when ppl are singled out and categorized by their nationality, rather than the person that they are. And sometimes that comes across too strongly on my part, i'm simply used to defending my kids.. and the estrogen flows strongly. ;)

Thanks again Pedro.
