I’m going to pretend that I don’t care that I’m not welcome on your little EZboard. Nope, I don’t care at all. ---

Aaawww poor Exgineer… I don’t think its meant to be exclusively for Brits or non Americans - Americans are welcome too aren’t they? ---

Well, I tried to join but someone’s already taken my user name. So, I’ll just stay here and sulk, then. ---

I’ve joined now, but only the one community. So, no mingling with the antipodeans for me, then. ---

OK - so reading through the posts we’ve had NADS, BNADS and a few other variations. I was so expecting some bright spark to have come up with something like Good 'Ol Non American DoperS ---

So does the Non-American thing mean that American-born Dopers living in Europe are not allowed to join? ---

Does ‘Non-American’ mean ‘Non-US’? Are Canadians and Brazilians allowed to join? ---

Anyone’s allowed to join! It’s just a more Euro-centric place. The idea is to have somewhere where we don’t have to explain marmite or get “Football? Oh you mean soccer!” comments. ---

That’s it, I’m going to start up an EZboard and call it “YankeeDope” or something, and subtitle it “Excluding the Brits since just last week, it’s taking longer than we thought.” The fora will all be America-centric stuff that the tossers across the pond just won’t understand. Going Outside And Shooting Your Own Dinner Recipes That Don’t Involve Sheep’s Kidneys Don’t Get Me Started On The Canadians Quit The Incessant Whining And Just Do Something About It At Least Our Judges Don’t Wear Those Silly Wigs Driving On The Right-Hand Side Of The Road Like God Intended Patriotism: At Least We Know What The Word Really Means Yeah. That’ll teach these stuffy Brits. Splitters.
