OK, OK, Barry ... your only answer seems to be to pull stuff out and demonstrate your historical superiority. You do so by stating the obvious. Good man you are. I bow to your clearly superior knowledge of Ireland. I dti/r na ndall is ri/ fear na leathshu/ile.

You seem not to be able to get the point. This isn't about your, or my, knowledge of the history of the land of our Grandparents. It's about jumping into a discussion with specious facts and then taking umbrage when getting called on it. I am not going to continue to debate this here, nor in a PM. If you want to talk history, start a thread and I will go with you as deeply into it as you like. If you want to talk about your first post and how it got you the response it did, PM me. No more hijacking this thread, by me or you.
