   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in netmail to Ardith Hinton:   
      
    DM>  The 7th of November is a great holidy in the Soviet Union.   
      
    AH>  Commemorating the Bolshevik Revolution, also known in the   
    AH>  West as the Russian Revolution &/or the October Revolution?   
      
    DM>  Yes.   
      
      
              Ah... thankyou.  I suspected as much, from what I remembered of a   
   history course I took years ago, but politics is not my forte.   
      
              I also wanted to get you to write a bit more in English, and help   
   other readers who might not have a clue what you & Anton were on about.  ;-)   
      
      
      
    DM>  CANADA celebrating?   
      
      
              No.  Canadians don't celebrate Guy Fawkes' Day either, although I   
   think they may have at one time.  Briefly... this person was implicated in a   
   scheme to blow up the British Parliament buildings but got caught before any   
   damage was done.  AFAIK the occasion is still celebrated in the UK.   
      
              Because of our ex-Brit roots Dallas & I understood the meaning of   
   yesterday's date when it popped up on one electronic device or another.  But   
   while North Americans follow many of the same rituals, they tend to do it on   
   Hallowe'en (Oct. 31st) rather than Nov. 5th....  :-)
