Gee... small nations are so touchy. All I meant with "our" is to
differentiate the Georgia in the Caucasus from the one in the USA. Only
a representative of a very small nation would jump to conclusions. I
meant no harm to the Georgians; they make great wines and one the most
astute political leaders of our outgoing century was Georgian.

It has come to my attention that small dogs bark much more than large
ones, by the way.
