You do realize this comment makes you sound like a nutter, right? Unless you actually explain your reasoning, the prior probability that your claim is simply wrong grossly overwhelms the odds that you are right. There is literally only one human being on the planet whose honesty and judgement I would trust sufficiently to motivate checking a claim like this, reasoning unseen—why you would expect a stranger to do so is beyond me. In fact, the implication that you even consider such an event possible … you do realize it makes you sound like a nutter, right?
RobinZ, OK, you convinced me that my comment makes me sound like a nut. Thanks for the wake-up call. But if I delete my comment, but you do not delete your comment, then readers of your comment will imagine that my comment was even nuttier than it actually is. So would you please delete your comment so that I can extract myself from the mess I got myself into?
Whenever something about Russia bugs me—and that happens pretty often—I consider moving to the US, but decide against it every time. Something about the country gives me the creeps. Yeah, it’s warm and rich, but (judging from my several visits, and my friends and relatives there) the people just seem alien. So… programmed for success. (What? I speak like it’s a bad thing. Still.)

I’m not sure that’s a good idea for a number of reasons, but if that’s the way you want to play it I’m willing to go along—just say the word.
Er, what? Can you explain further?
I have been meaning to delete that comment (grandparent) and your reply reminded me of its existence. Sorry.

Hmmm… does it have anything to do with it being the dead center of Silicon Valley?
