Careful with your "American" this and "American" that... we don't want to offend our Canadian, Central and South American friendsLt. Sniper wrote:But your forgetting one thing, your not American. If your not American then they dont care.
My mum on her return from a recent trip to "The States" made some comment about the arrogance of a people that don't even have a name for their country...
I admit to lurking. I've been a member of the forum since 2003 and made only 3 posts (two yesterday). I do not post because I do not live in Australia.Mind Socket wrote:When I saw a post from Scout, I was immediately suspicous of this person lurking in the forum, and I shouldn't have been.
I lurk to stay informed of geocaching activities in Australia. I try to be responsive to customers and that sometimes means listening, not talking. One positive result is that it led to private discussions that resulted in me modifying the GPX extension used at GPSgames.org to be more compatible with that used by geocaching.com.au.
My first post, in May, 2004 ( http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=1039 ), was in response to a report of a bug at GPSgames.org that affected Australian cache listings. The bug wasn't reported anywhere else but this forum. I learned something by lurking and fixed the problem.
Anyway, if my lurking is considered impolite, I will leave.

Foster's? you really wanna know why we export that stuff now?? No self respecting Aussie will drink it... but after sampling extreme amounts of the US products.. I wonder why it is popular there, you have much better beers (mainly the smaller independant brewers) than Foster's. Thou I will admit I do enjoy MGD. I tried a Samual Adams(still getting the taste out of my mouth) in the "cheers" Bar at Boston, that was after the barman worked out where were from, and offered us Foster's.... you should have seen the look on his face when we told him to stick that stuff where the sun doesn't reach....Scout wrote:I've had my share of Fosters Lager in Melbourne pubs, but that was years ago. If I'm ever back (no, when I'm back), it'll be my shout.Mind Socket wrote:Sit back, relax ... wanna beer?
Now what was the topic of this thread again Aussies upsetting Scout??
