My apologies- I forgot this was crossposted to the iPhone group.

It's a pretty fair assumption that anyone participating in
"alt.cellular.attws" is in the United States, since AT&T is an American
mobile operator.

Again, my apologies for forgetting the crosspost.

Heheh No problem - no offence meant, and hopefully none taken. But
I'd guess that with Usenet being worldwide, that there are a lot of
folks reading it who are not US-based. And I just find it interesting
that so many 'Merkins simply assume that the rest of the world is the
same as the USA. Not you in particular, but it's a common theme on
Usenet.

And thanks for the civil reply, too - makes a nice change from some
threads!
