I confused Piet with Steve Pemberton, who is indeed in Sweden. You may still think that I'm really uneducated, but in fact I actually lived in Sweden for three years, and I do know about these things. Nevertheless, I don't go around saying things like, "Europe, you have nothing to be proud of." And although I am now an American citizen, this has only been for the past four years. I'm really a Pole. --- Greg Kuperberg harvard!talcott!gjk "Eureka!" -Archimedes
