Nope, I am not in Canada. The closest to Canada I have been was when I went
to Buffalo, Upstate NY :) I never had time to go and visit while I lived in
US (Binghamton, Upstate NY). To confuse matters even more, I am French but
living in London. I have also lived in Curacao for a year. I wouldn't mind
going to Japan next ;)

Yup, I know ;) I have been lurking in this mailing list for quite some time
and at SOTM, Richard clearly mentioned you during his presentation!
I have been following the roadmatcher mechanism that you have been using for
some time.
