Then again, I give respect where it is due....
I gather that the study was about Europeans only, otherwise we would have probably made bottom of the barrel.

As far as actual face-to-face meetings with Europeans, I agree with you, Lord Michael; they tend to be a very nice lot. Online...that's another kettle of fish. But I guess that goes for all cultures pretty much. Even the nicest person can turn into a complete jerkwad in the anonymity of a computer screen.
