That's my point. Where will this idiocy end? Do we have to explain that Sweden's in Europe? Or Europe's a continent on Earth?

You may find listing the country superfluous information - However you'd be surprised how many people confuse the Scandinavian countries - How many times have I heard "You're from Oslo, is that the capital of Sweden?" Besides, most events are listed that way, as they are on the events calendar at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/calendar.html Same on Metallica's concert tour for instance: http://www.metallica.com/tour/dates.html :) Camilla
