"bother lurking for a while before wading in and insulting people"
is perhaps what you meant to say there?
If Rodolfo has saved some people from the mistake of irritating
the non-USAnians here it's been an entirely worthwhile post.
After all, if you insult people, either explicitly by calling
them a "moron", or implicitly by assuming that DNS is updated
by typewriter in the rest of the world as the original poster
did, they are less likely to help you in future.
[Warning!!! Vaguely Cobalt-related topic coming up!!!]
Can I ask the US Cobalt owners here how important it was that
they were buying a US product? The rest of the world refers
to "Not Invented Here" syndrome, which is the apparently very
strong preference in the US for buying US made stuff.
