>Just curious... will crossing a cheese-MVP result in an underhand attack on my livelihood and pursuit of happiness, or will the retaliation be limited to pelting with fresh Camembert? ;-)

Nah, I'm a peaceful guy. It's just that I can't keep my mouth shut at times. They may call it beer, they may call it cheese, they may call it tomato - but I've tried the real thing, I felt the difference. Should I leave them to their illusion, that is the question.

They also live in the illusion about Europe's size, but at least theirs extends beyond the Amsterdam - Berlin - Vienna line. The prices are truly American ;).
