Steve's personal e-mail to me was considerably more reasonable.
I hereby violate netiquette and quote it in full:

> Touche'

You should have posted that one instead, Steve.

Well Steve, as Japanese people could tell you, the U.S.A. also is
not a real country.  Didn't even pick a name for itself; it had to
steal its continent's name instead.  (Hmm, is that why it sometimes
thinks it's the entire continent?)

Incidentally, I just saw "For All Mankind" and had to laugh at the
U.S.A.'s flag being spread out for all mankind.  When Christopher
Columbus planted the Spanish flag, he didn't pretend that he was
claiming the Amerinds' land for all mankind; he knew it rightfully
belonged to Spain.

Maybe this posting isn't fair; the astronauts had better flame shields.

What's this doing in comp.lang.c?  Follow-ups redirected to /dev/null.
