I agree.  The bosses who run M-I are very `territorial'.  It think 
this is a unfortunate marriage of threatened male egos when their pet 
theories cum under attack [ note how both Godena and Proyect rapidly 
resort to abuse when desperate for an argument] but also a US 
chauvinism which you have picked up nicely.  How far back in US 
history does Godena go to determine who is, and who, is not "scrounging" 
of the US taxpayer/worker?
