It would seem, Dennis, that you are getting into politics and maybe morality here, certainly into "political correctness." From that I think I can safely assume that you engage in moral/political judgement upon the postings to your list(s). Some listowners do not do that. I think I can safely say that, " I couldn't care less whether 'Morocco' is a kingdom, a republic, a black hole or a colony of the twelfth planet." Distinguishing among those is not a function of rev by country and, far as I know, was never intended to be, nor do I care what my subscribers' political or religious beliefs are; discussion of such is forbidden on my lists. Your complaint, and it sems it is *your* complaint, not that of Morocco, be it a kingdom (constitutional ?) or a republic, appears to be that *you* do not like the rev by country output. That is fine, tell LSOFT so, but don't hide behind "Morocco" which never knew that you did rev by country and therefore could not issue a "mild rebuke" The complaint is yours, not Moroccos, so say so. You may take this as "a mild rebuke", though not from the Kingdom of Morocco, or otherwise, as you please. Douglas Winship [log in to unmask]
