No, I wasn't born here though I live here, so I don't take to my heart any
jokes about people living in one of the colonies you lost ;-)  Just
stealing it from some movie I like. Still didn't have chance for my
morning coffee yet (which I deserve: I was working hard all morning).
Don't take me too seriously too, just get nice cup of tea (or wait till
morning for it)  ;-)
