Of course you are right that it is a Canadian address.
/me pulls the beam out of his own eye but pleads that it arrived at my server from kumo.com - which is US based... and the only way to see her real address in the Outlook 2000 Beta after a name is in the address book is to open the header. Oh well... another reason to hope that the new Outlook arrives real soon now...
BTW the reason I spotted it right off was that I know there are about PI x 10^7 seconds in a year, and 3.2 is close enough to PI as makes no difference - which meant that Kim was talking about 10^7 deaths a year which made no sense at all...
Or why good engineering is about what people do on the back of envelopes. Then I checked my instincts with a calculator and a little research. What Kim should have done in the first place before quoting such iffy numbers.
