Sorry, I thought GMAFB was addressed to me.
And sorry to everyone else I've offended here. FWIW I've been to USA for business (IEEE 802.11 working group back while 802.11n was in planning phase). The vast majority of the people I dealt with were pretty awesome. There were a few downers, though. The thing that sticks out was this time in Santa Monica when I wanted to use a payphone and didn't have change. Asking random strangers for change near payphones, vending machines, train ticket machines and other coin-operated apparatus is pretty normal in Australia. I had my wallet out, and when a random person walked by I held up some $1 bills and asked, "Got quarters?" She said, "I'll give you quarters because you're Australian, but it's not safe to open your wallet around here." Is it really that dangerous in Santa Monica? If so, that's sad in itself, and if it isn't really that dangerous, it's sad that she was so scared. Anyway, it's a trivial thing, but it's stuck in my mind.
