Personally I find EO6F's effort rather pathetic and ineffective in every

By the way, what do you think about the American restaurant chefs who
changed "French fries" into "freedom fries" in their menus when the French
refused to play the game with American rules??

P.S. Let's not boycott anybody, not even those who call CQ DX outside Europe,
even if I would like to get into the log...
