Tiger,
You are correct to a point and I was making a joke, as I think were the others. I thought it was interesting to find the French rubbed Mark Twain the wrong way. When one gets past nations and associates on a people to people level, these issues usually disappear. That's why I love sailing, it brings us all to one common reality.
