>I am an ayleurophobe...

tsuwm!! I do hope you're referring to the word, not the people.

I agree with you about the word. Of all the messages I've posted and then regretted, that short one that containing the now-immortalized-in-an-acronym "anything you like except unanimous" is right up there. And I don't even get the royalties!

Marty, take that back!

I think a post that created such a hubbub, that got people discussing back and forth and that can still cause a stir (without hurting anyone) is quite masterful.

Voila, my two-cents.

I feel your concern, but you must recall that the word was never unanimously accepted by the people, so if I did mean the people it would only be those who accepted the word.
