"You" when you meant "me?"

As to the rest, we are about done talking at each other.

(Austrian Empire shrank, but yeah, while it was "happening" there was certainly ethnic diversity and multiculuralism present, as with every empire. My Melting Pot remark can only refer to Austria the nation not the empire, which is a post WW I entity, so my mixing in Austrian defeat at the hands of Bismarck was a bit of mixing apples and lug nuts.)

As a favor, Mr Lazybones, would you please take the effort to write your own titles to your posts? The Re: convention is no excuse not to spend a second or two entitling your post. The rest of us do that, generally, how about you join us? We are worth your effort, whether we agree or not.
