davet--I would be careful giving credibility to the opinions based on this "fact". He may in fact be European, but remember this is the Internet. Look at his profile, recently created, and his screen name and occupation--Google JW Von Goethe--probably 99% chance that they are phoney, unless there is a great coincidence. Perhaps the poor English, grammar, spelling lends credibility to your belief that he is European.

I am not saying to discount this poster's opinions for these reasons--or because he supposedly was just "moved" to begin posting after lurking all this time--just that they aren't necessarily entitled to greater weight.
