Can we change their regime? Do they have a >regime? Can we pretend they do? Will France surrender if we do?- I'm currently inactive, and ignoring Nomicron. It moves slowly enough that a) it is boring and b) the scam I had been hoping to perpetrate when I joined would not succeed until after the heat death of the universe. So I was not aware of this development. We should definitely change their regime before this hostile Nomic inevitably uses its weapons to attack us. Note to all Nomicron people here: The above is humor. I harbor no ill will toward Nomicron. Please do not take me seriously, as I have no desire to start an internomic incident. I'm sorry you have a track record of needing disclaimers like this. -- Teucer "Be vewwy vewwy quiet.
