Why are we generalising about Americans?

Well Blissfully, who's "we"? Did you mean Mudcatters? Or Mudcatters and GUESTS? Or only *certain* (special-type) Mudcatters? Or all people who post on the internet? Maybe just people, in general?

Hmmm ... it might be of some general help if you'd ever so generously tell us (in general terms) how you yourself happened to generalise about generalising about Americans.
