I see how my "US and Israel" comment could be confusing. I certainly
agree that English is the lingua franca of the world. I referred to
the fact that only in the US (well, there may be a few other places,
but it changes nothing in priciple) hot+cold fill is still dominant,
while the rest of the world uses cold fill only, and it is not some
weird technological backwardness of Israel. Stan's parenthetical
"nowhere else" [except Israel - OG] caused the comment (and a
smiley!).

With this clarification, I'll take my coat and leave the OT territory
- sorry for the noise.
