but now we have half a dozen comments including the original sarcastic one that add nothing, when everyone could have inferred all of this from the grandparent "we should pick up some benefits from routing through europe" comment. None of the replies, nor yours, add anything substantial, nor are very funny or interesting. That's why the downvotes have come -- to clean this up, so people can scan past the grey stuff that probably adds nothing.
