Hi Thomas. You must me refering to my French last name. :-) I was wasn't taking offence, just atempting to state that the US/French relationship isn't all one-sided.

Besides, though my name is French, I think I am an even mix of French, English, Irish and German. Now let me see...
- French name
- look Irish
- speak English
- act German

Now that's Canadian! < snicker >
