Wreckers and Wreckees!!
Just wanted to take a moment and wish all of my American and Canadian friends a great weekend. It is Canada Day July 1st and Independence Day July 4th. I will be celebrating both sides of the border all weekend long with bi-national friends from all over.
Raising a toast to my new-found acquaintances in the Wreck and I gotta tell you..this place is pretty damned cool.
CHEERS!
PS I am dumping my kill-file and starting a fresh one.. I'm hoping I won't need it much.
Celebrating on both sides of the border??
Isn't there a law against that? ;)
Only in Quebec where they celebrate Bastille Day
Ok,
me first.

Nope. After all, we're all Americans. :-P
Naaaaa..I prefer to just ignore you.
Do you have a lot of bi friends?

The VAST majority of those reading this newsgroup. Other than the few handfuls of Europeans, Aussies, and an occasional African (I'm from Nairobi, Maam. Isn't everyone?), we're all (South/Latin/North) Americans here, Bwana.

By "we're all Americans", I was referring to the citizens of the United States of America and of Canada - the people who will be celebrating July
4th and July 1st, as indicated by the thread subject. I'm not saying everyone on the wreck is American.
Maybe the vast majority of *contributors* are American but how do you know that everyone in China isn't *reading* it? ;-)
Cuz the chinese government has strict controls on the internet. They strictly limit access because the feel that any free exchange of ideas will lead eventually to their downfall. Can you imagine the effects of unlimited access to the Wreck would have on the politics and economics of the People's Republic of China?

Here in the states we call that "Heinz 57" ancestry. (The Heinz company made 57 varieties of condom^H^Himents.)

Because computers run by bicycle-powered gensets are less reliable? They tend to have either full-technology cities or fully-primitive cities over there, with few in between, though that's changing as we send our billions to them for every petty product known to man.

Because I'm pretty certain that this group has been blocked by PRC government as seditious, and often downright revolting!

Okay, buddy, what's wrong with my shoes, huh? Is this a wood-related group or not, eh?
And, to paraphrase another well-known statement:
Shoes don't make people silly people make people silly.
