By the way, Greg, several of the images have disappeared (of course, this may just be my machine) and they don't seem to be in your "Scott Understands ..." archive.

there might be many positive and negative things you can say about americans. and most of all it would be bad to generalise. but... an american who understands about beer? no way!
