>>True, it turns out that the French have over 400 different ways to politely say "I surrender", but au Revoir isn't one of them.
err.. hate to point out the obvious, but I'm not French, so whoever you are offending with your gratuitous ad hominem "jokes", it isn't me.
And I see you have not explained/justified your odd Neville Chamberlain reference or identified who you think "Hitler" is in this context. as you put it:
>>You don't have to back up what you write if you don't care to... or can't.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
