Would you like me to post it for you? Given my understanding of how cafepress.com works, this doesn't prove anything one way or the other about your affiliation. miguel -- Hundreds of travel photos from around the world: http://travel.u.nu/ |

"I Am Not American" Web Site Adds Designs, Languages, Merchandise
Absolutely brilliant. I AM an American, but the last thing I would want to
do, if traveling to other countries, is admit it. I can't wait to buy one for my trip to Mexico. SD |

I bet that ****es off the fashionable America-haters something fierce, and particularly galls (heh) the French. Oh and besides, we're right and everybody else is wrong...n'est pas? SD |

Everyone will know (nothing about you in particular, just that's how it is). I can't wait to buy one for my trip to Mexico. Combining obvious Americanness with a T-shirt disclaiming such would probably come off as pretty weird. miguel -- Hundreds of travel photos from around the world: http://travel.u.nu/ |

People in Ontario act and talk just like Americans. |

Okay, if you say so. You have your opinion and I have mine. This is going nowhere and it's getting boring. What's up? Unable to prove your point? :-) Giving up so easily? How very disappointing. Just joking of course, but maybe now you understand your opinion (and you're welcome to it, of course) is biased and incorrect. As for being boring...your "is too...is too...is too..." argument was a little repetitive. But hey, that happens from time to time. No, your IP is *exactly* the same as the original poster who used the website address as a name. No, my IP is not *exactly* the same as the original poster who used the website address as a name. Using my 'network' info, I can see my IP as provided by the DHCP server, and it's different. I know because I am required to enter my IP for some other things...and it's not that .205 or whatever it is. I'd post if for you but you'd probably say it was fake or something. More than a few, and dating all the way back to at least March. The guy sold me a couple of his shirts before he went to that cafepress.com mob and provided me with great service. I believe in supporting the little guy. If you search hard enough, you'll see me posting supportive comments for other web sites, shirt designs and 'small-guy' operations. Sure you would. Getting people to talk about your product is a good way to drum up interest. I suppose that is a valid point. There's no such thing as bad publicity. But accusing someone of having an undeclared interest in the thread is a good way to get out of a thread early and try winning some 'points' in the debate, too. Could go either way. Not changing the topic--ending it because I have no wish be a part of your marketing ploy. Wear your shirts in good health. And you too. Live long and prosper. Merry Christmas |
