But notice, your inaccuracy evoked a useful informational and analytical post; i.t., your affirmtation of inaccurate information was far more useful than any vague question city and country in the 19th century would have been.
I'm using your post to make a point in a debate that has been going on between Doug and me for a number of years. My claim is that my strong affirmations in effect pose questions which others then respond to in various ways, while his questions are in effect conversation stoppers.
