<ot> OK, one last - that was the point of my comment on ancient history... I think the opposition is probably more recent, only 80 years in base or even only since Cyprus. It's not going to be so easily cured, but it may settle to something more like Swedish-Norwegian rivalry, or the love that we Brits have for the French <vbg>
And absolutely - I'm sure there are some people alive in Turkey, today, who could theoretically trace back ancestry to Homeric times and locations. Even in the UK we've found some families can trace Y-chromosomes back to Bronze Age and before... we don't even know who's supposed to have lived here then!

OK, OK I'll return to topic: but on a slow Friday pm I find this far more pleasant than real life ...
