I'm Canadian, and I hit agree! I didn't read it though, cause it's all about stocks and stuff and that's really dull. ZzzZZZzzzZZZz. Maybe they like the Japanese, Australians and Canadians and wanted to spare us the boredom.

But my point remains: RiverSoft Technologies is NOT the boss of me!

...Amsterdam, Netherlands
Plano, Dallas...

I knew that Texas often considered itself an independant country, but the sovereign nation of Dallas?

I accidently hit okay because I didn't read it very well, and I'd just like to apologize for that. Sorry.
