[quote]Allies in what respect? In the War of Terror perhaps?
[/quote]My comment was specifically targeted to the person who thought
that Yanks or Yankees was considered anything but positive by
us Yanks and/or Yankee fans. In another thread, perhaps.

And yes of course we're partners in the war on terrorism.
Put joking aside when that's the topic.

I don't know how it was intended, but UKUSA might be a valid interpretation. It does include Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as well, but only as junior partners (though I don't know if this is [i]de jure[/i] or merely [i]de facto[/i]).

Reverting to the OP, I'll just add that my NYC location
is indeed my current and original home location, though
I have been elsewhere. Duh.
