to be sufficient justification for having it in loc.uk, even though I
personally didn't enjoy wading through the messages. Might be worth
also pointing out that a lot of people from the UK contributed to the debate
that you go on to complain about.

I know but who fueled it?  What really annoys me is that I don't want to be
anti-American but the way they blow things out of proportion is silly, the
bottom line of The Entertainer story was, they made a mistake, we tried to
capitalize, they realized their mistake, gave us an apology and an extra 10%
discount, I'm happy.

Actually I have to say I may have missed some posts due to having been
away, but I didn't notice any bad feeling until _you_ posted this:

Post 2211 states the need to get away from the recent negativity.  I don't want
it as much as you do.  Read the thread.

Still want to blame any bad feeling on the Americans? Perhaps we
should feel complimented that we obviously have such a great local
group that other people want to look in on it :)

That's a good way of looking at it.  Our newsgroup is better than theirs (don't
go there - must sttttooopppp typppinggg....) :-D
