Re-read the message.  That individual specified that the computer that the 
obnoxious Brit was using (presumably an Amiga... clearly that was the writer's 
intent) was invented in America.  Which is true.

I must say that this is probably the most obnoxious exchange I have ever had 
the displeasure of seeing come across my monitor.
