WD> In Z1 it's quite easy and straightforward to consider another region

I was about to say...but you beat me to it...(o_-)

WD> Move to another zone such as Z2 and every region is a different country
WD> or set of countries, most likely there are different languages all over
WD> the place, different cultures and they were eachother's foes to the

WD> that knowitall-attitude...

Hey, Ward? Feel free to go fu--um...'have sex with'...yourself at any time!
You can't call it attitude if I really *do* know it all! (^_^)

WD> My own region R29 Belgium has Dutch/Flemish as its language and 22km

WD> technically it should be easy, both sides agree that that's already
WD> enough to create confusion. So you and those other 2 dudes claim you
WD> know what goes on in Scandinavia?

I have always claimed the opposite! (@_@) More than once, I've said 'I don't
really know what it's like in Europe.'

However, here in Z1, we are divided into regions by border, just like it's
done in Z2, as far as I'm aware. Not *our* fault that there's only one
computer in all of Whogivzafukistan...

WD> For the record, R20 consists of 3 countries with different languages and
WD> cultures .... If you want to get on Bjorn's back because you doubt he
WD> polled his region

In a previous message, I actually defended Bjorn; I'm a little surprised that
you ignored that. It does no good at all to pick and choose which facts
to ignore.

WD> then try to answer this question ... how many RCs do
WD> you think did poll their region one way or the other?

I definitely don't know the answer to that question, and neither do you. I do
know that my RC asked me and everyone else in my region for opinions. And
you know the same (or opposite) for *only* yours. I cannot speak for R20 any
more than you can.

It's not 'knowitall attitude' if everyone knows it.

WD> I even know about RCs who did not poll their region and do not vote
WD> either ... Plenty reasons to get upset if that's what you intend to
WD> become ...

That's a different topic entirely, and not one I wish to get into.

Your friendly neighbourhood 'knowitall',
