Wow Michelle,
What a tirade.  A couple of points:
Firstly I think you misinterpreted my opening statement, probably my fault,
typing fast, too much to do & too little time to do it in.  It was an
attempt at humour, ie "ohmigod, another newbie, & not even an
American........."  Get it??
Firstly I write good English because I am English, although I have pleasure
of living in France so I don't think there is anything you need to tell me
about respect for others.  Living in someone else's country teaches you all
of that.

Secondly, I know what Ridecamp is all about.  I subscribed because I believe
that the way is always forward & that we can always learn from others.

I subscribe to two other lists, Euroenduro & Aussieendurance, for the same
reasons, healthy constructive & instructive discussion on a "disease" which
has infected us all.

I've been a subscriber to Ridecamp for 3 days & in that time I've read more
abuse & vitriole (in addition to the useful stuff) than in the 6 months or
so that I've subscribed to the other lists.  Perhaps here its me that
doesn't get the joke, perhaps these people really do love one another.  I do
hope so!  Or do they need to read the charter?

So get off your high horse, ride an Arabian instead, they're smaller &
easier to deal with.  I am sure that past & future generations of Europeans
are & will be eternally grateful to America for stepping in & changing the
course of the war, but I don't think Ridecamp is the forum for the "whys" &
"wherefores" of this piece of history.

Have a Happy Xmas Michelle.

Heather
