KN,
In truth, I'm not trying to go up in charm. Rather, it's a by product of trying to get to an average of 30 posts per day… which is really tough to do. I answer the country of the day posts because they give me something to discuss that I tend to know about because of all my travels or that I can research easily. I try not to answer for countries others on the boards would be better suited to answer, such as when France was the country of the day. I don't want to steal other's thunder.
