Good question:

Vancouver Island - Size: 947,800 square kilometres (365,974 square miles)

New Zealand - North 115,000 square kilometres (44,000 square miles). South 151,000 square kilometres (58,300 square miles). Stewart Island 1700 square kilometres (656 square miles) is located immediately south of the South Island.

Amazing. I never, ever, would have guessed it. Wow! That just knocks me over.

The rest of your advice is good too. I just find it appalling to let such unsupported, and unsupportable, statements stand uncontested. But in the spirit of the season I'll allow that maybe they are all suffering the effects of blood rushing to their heads because, as we know, they are all standing upside down. <g>
