I sure would need company if I spoke the only non Finno/Ugric language in the Baltic region. Just a comment down here, so as not to distract what's going on above the "fold."

I like to keep you on your toes, tsuwm, what with the diminution of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices and all.

Anyway, to get to the topic: I simply cannot understand why anyone would feel so free to be so rude, esp. when it is unprovoked. I saw an episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation where Wesley Crusher describes a certain alien race as considering courtesy a sign of weakness; all I can figure is that he must be like them.

If one starts with a different assumption -- that of a mental flaw or defect -- then the behaviour is less shocking in that it is somewhat expected.

I didn't know Kaliningrad was an exclave of Russia. Is Alaska an exclave of the U.S.?

Seems likely to me. At least until the US gummint annexes Canadia. Ceci n'est pas un seing.
