English is relative. Some of my best friends are Americans who pay their
significant United State's taxes - FWIW - significantly more than my
taxes; one's accent does *not* imply anything.

I am impressed that you know that the tech support is from
Bombay or Beijing

In my opinion, racism or any discrimination (whether explicit or implied)
should not be on any mailing list - OS/2 or Windows or ......... Some
time ago, a member of this list posted the word "Jap" on this list - well
so much for "free speech".................

Sorry for the soap box, but I really do not like any kind of
discrimination.

Regards.

Larry
