I understand what you're trying to say, but trust me, if you've been around here
for a long time, like Dann has, and you've been a moderator, like Dann has, then
you'd know why he said what he did.

As a Canadian who has also been both, I certainly laughed when I read his post
(and the subseqeunt thread between him and "Cheaters Rep").  For those that
don't meet this criteria, I'll just say that that there's a certain Canadian who
has earned themself a certain notoriety around here over the years, and leave it
at that.
