   Jonas's little philosophy pop-quiz deleted, because as I've said before,
   what you or I believe is not the point here - the point is to avoid
   saying you're for something when in fact you're not.

Oh, that was the brightest way I've seen so far to avoid answering
a question. Not. Why is it that I get this distinct feeling you're 
trying to dodge the question?

   =>Nice onomatopoetic effect,

   Glad you appreciated it, but I think you'll find that there isn't a "t" in
   that long word. I know language flames are cheap-shots, but I feel justified
   since most Swedes speak better English than most native-speakers, plus you
   criticised my Swedish, so naah naah.

Close but no cigar.. Since you obviously took the time to look the word up
I'll be happy to help. (Source: The Oxford Universal Dictionary 
Illustrated. 3rd edition 1964) 
Ono:matopoesis Also -poiesis 1864 [mod. a Gr 
(deleted due to the lack of greek font) the making of a name f. (deleted)]
The naming of a thing, etc, from the sound associated with it;
onomatopoeia. So onomatopoetic a. onomatopoeic 1847. Onomatopoetically adv. 
1866.

   => but not very appropriate, since you included more than
   =>90 % of my posting, just in an attempt at being funny.

   How does this affect the appropriateness. No, don't answer that.

Ok, my wording could have been better, but I hope you got the gist of
it. Unneccessary was the word I should've used instead.

   =>|> What you think is one thing, but saying that you think one thing but acting
   =>|> like you think another is called "hypocrisy" (well, almost).
   =>
   =>Oh? I _really_ believe we should all be nice to each other, I often say I think
   =>that, but if someone punch me in the face I punch back. Hypocricy? I guess I'm
   =>not the only one then.. I'll settle at _trying_ not to be, oh so perfect one.
   =>Now, if you can take time off from running the world for us, I'd be 
   =>overjoyed to have answers to my questions.

   I'm afraid that Swedes have a reputation for being boring, and this is
   where it comes from. Now I know that telling you that some of my very
   best friends in the whole wide world are Swedes (and live in Uppsala!)
   won't stop people from howling about my disgraceful anti-Swede attitudes,
   but I'd be really grateful if you'd read my reply carefully and let this
   thread drop.

[Yawn. How boring. :)]
Yes, we try to learn from the masters of boredom, the british. 
I see that we have a long way to go before we can even look at you.
(I'd like to add that I really don't mean the above, but I do
believe that one cheap shot deserves another. My apologies to
the (british XOR JHenderson). If you happen to regard yourself as
something other than british, do me a favor and substitute in the
above paragraph. That'd save me the reply. :)

   Tack saa mycket.

   Stora kramer,  [  <-  yes! it's completely inappropriate!!!  ]

Nice that you acknowledge this.
