As an irregular reader of rumor, I came to the "Re: We're really all 
Veccupians..." discussions without seeing the origins of it.  I infer that 
it concerns names for inhabitants of the Americas, and maybe this has
been said before, but the reference should surely be to Vespuccians.  
Amerigo VESPUCCI was the Genoese explorer, sailing for Spain and Portugal, 
after whom the Americas were named.

No matter.  I am English, so you Americans, Vespuccians whatever are all 
foreigners.  :-)
