Of course, you brought it on yourself with the "7% of the population,
etc. business." All you had to do was point out that he forgot to
mention it was a bill for the US. Nicely, of course. After all, you
are the author of the recent subjects "OT:Funny" and "OT:Funny will
offend right-wingers" (right-wingers? really? where? what country?
Ooops. When it suits you, we are supposed to know.) So it's not like
you are setting a good model with respect to targeting an audience for
OT posts or even keeping to appropriate subjects for this newsgroup.

The poor guy was trying to do a public service, whether or not it
applies to you. It seems likely that it applies to him in some way
and a little compassion is in order rather than peevishness because he
forgot to mention the country. It's a bit brutish to make fun of him
considering you have transgressed in the same way.

So, now what exactly was your complaint?
