    No, but there will be plenty of scope for.. 'I'm doing an online course!' 'Oh, really?' 'No, O'Reilly' style jokes.

      Yes, because there's not a good sized community of Hmong people in America (especially in Minnesota)...

      Why do you immediately have to assume that those that are not "American" are off-shore?

    WTF. How is this related to my post? After some stringent analysis and peer review, it is my professional opinion that based on its X/Y position as compared to your post, its relationship to your post is that of a hierarchical child.

    In all seriousness, the guy is just being an asshat.
