P.S. Please don't think of me as a racist or something...

I don't think you are a racist but I do think you may be misinformed, it is
no more accurate to say that a Gypsy is a swindler than it is to say that a
Yooper is stupid.

   He really does!  In terms of "north-up" *and* elevation,
   if memory serves.  But it takes more than that to be a real
   troll; you need to eat small children and/or charge tolls,
   don't you?  Or am I essentializing?  :)
