I understood the question. What I didn't get was the 'brethren' comment....
Then why didn't you answer it?

It was just serendipitous, for myself, that you used that term. I used it a while back, referring to Jews and their brethren, and the two I put in the To: box on my next-to-prev. post labeled me an anti-Semite for using it. They thought I was being condescending even though I explained that I have used the word for other nationalities/groups/religious denominations.
Sorry for the sidetrack on your thread, but when I seen you had used the term I couldn't resist.
