Being married to someone who comes off enough like Ric that I was 
thinking my husband was posting under a different name, I think it's 
just his expression of aggravation that people are misinterpreting and 
floundering about what he DID say, which was extremely precisely 
stated. And accurate.

Most people's speech isn't that precise. When mine isn't, I get the 
same gar from my spouse.

I watched this train wreck happening and felt sympathy for all 
concerned, but I do understand with where Ric is coming from.

Um, the fact that someone can, in Ulan Bator, buy unlicensed media that 
works in an audio drive wasn't relevant to Ric's point. Nor was it 
xenophobic.
