No one said "every American"

---

You're right, no one did. What Ylva wrote was that she thought "people in USA would know by now...or maybe you live in a small town with few Irish immigrants?" She didn't say "Americans posting on this board." I was pointing out that this is not a name that is known to many, or even some Americans; only a few: nomophiles, yes, and people who know the Irish community. There are lots of major cities in America w/out many Irish immigrants. One need not be isolated in a "small town" to be unfamiliar with this name. I have no idea where Ylva is or how much she knows about American demographics. I was letting her know.

And why was little_kit wrong to post her question on this board, as Eden clearly implied? And what is it with all the "long-timers" around here that people who don't post as often as you or for as long as you are given such cold shoulders so quickly? So touchy. I have been enjoying this board very, very much, several times a day for weeks, because I only just found it. I even thought I might have made a couple of friends here. I must have been confused. Excuse me for not being here when this board was started. Now I feel maybe I'm done with it. Thanks so much for all the camaraderie and warm fuzzies. You can have that tongue back too, thanks anyway.
