Newsgroup quotes, message styles, etc.
"Paul D. Sullivan" wrote in message news:WqYzh.2645$5M1.1447@trndny01... You seem a very arrogant, unpleasant person. Not worth continuing any conversation with. It's a perception thing. Those who are able to perceive the significance of doing it the right way, do. Others don't. Which created a chronologically interesting message, no doubt quite contrary to your intentions ... -- Bart |

Is a 1/1.8" (7.18 x 5.32 mm) sensor sufficient for 10mp and 12mp?
"Bart van der Wolf" wrote: To keep flying in the face of that is eccentric, egocentric, or just plain Dutch (with a wink to Bart). I agree, and wink appreciated. That, by the way, is (for me) a new use of 'Dutch' in the English language. Most uses seem to have a somewhat negative connotation, often related to (alleged) stinginess (instead of common sense ;-)). For instance, a Dutch crossing (of a street), is the fastest way of getting from point A to B. Fastest seems efficient/sensible to me ;-) The Dutch have also made it to Japanese. If you bowl in Japan, and throw a game in which you alternate strikes and spares for the whole game, you've bowled a "Dutchman". (It appears to be "Dutch 200" in English.) Hey, there's logic he both "going Dutch" and "Dutch 200" involve alternation of some sort. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

It's the kind of lingo often spoken in movies made from the 1930's through at least the 1960's. |

The "being Dutch" comes from my having been raised in rural Illinois, where there was a fairly large group of farmers whose families were from Holland. It meant simply, "stubborn". A trait found readily among us in the NG. There were also a lot of Scandinavian, - mostly Swedes and Norwegians, quite a few of German descent, some Scotch-Irish, Scots, Irish and English. A couple of Italian families, and precious little else. But how far OT can I get now? -- John McWilliams |

The Queen of England herself referred to the first one herself, over 200 years ago.

You'll note the irrelevance of Queen of *England*'s description natives of the other country under discussion. It was a reference to those Scots who had gone to live and work in Ireland, usually on a plantation, and ended up in England.
