Karl, I have nothing but contempt for the toxic and rampant
anti-Americanism amongst my fellow Canadians and elsewhere but equally
contemptible is your ignorance and your attitude of entitlement just
because Americans helped liberate Europe. You exemplify the term "ugly
American". Somehow, I think Americans fought and died in Europe and
elsewhere in two world wars for something a bit more important than
preventing you from being inconvenienced by an email auto-responder.

As long as we're giving history lessons, I suggest you read the history
of the American Revolution more carefully. If it had not been for the
financial and military aid given by the French during the Revolution,
the United States wouldn't exist today.

By the way, the term "Jap" is considered a slur by Japanese people. I
suggest you shut up before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.
